problem in inserting html tags in mysql

[Anon]

hello!

I have problems inserting html tags into a mysql database.
How can i insert "&lt;p&gt;" as it is into the a mysql table. I tried inserting this but it interprets &lt; into < and &gt; to >, so it stores "<p>" instead.

I want the "&lt;p&gt;" stored instead of "<p>", so that when i retrieve the data from the table it can be displayed as "<p>" and not interpret "<p>" as an html tag.

Thanks!

Jane

How did you do it and retrieve them again?
