Output html code from mysql field

[ade234uk]

I have one field in the database that acts as a description. This field contains mainly html code which is populated when a user adds a description via a wysiwyg box on my site.

Now I need to output the code from the page, so that html code is converted.
How do I do this in php?

Of course just outputting the field directly shows me the html code only. I need it to show what the user entered in the wysiwyg box.

Thanks

If I correctly understand the question:

echo htmlspecialchars($text_from_db);

You'll probably want to output that within <pre>...</pre> tags, or within a <textarea>...</textarea> if you want it in a form.

Bloody hell is that it. Thank you very much.
