Hi guys, I have created a news system based on php and mysql. now my problem is that when i fill in the form to insert de 'news' into my database, it inserts the text in 'html'-code. [b]so what I mean is this:[/b] this is what i type in my form to insert into the database: (for example) [code]This is my new news post<br> <br> <br> <b>Down down down</b><br> <br> <br> Under :)[/code] [b]And this is what i get when i read it from the database news table:[/b] "This is my new news post [b]Down down down[/b] Under :)" [b]NOW what i want to be able to do is i want to type this in my form (you see, without the html codes like '<br>'):[/b] [code]This is my new news post Down down down Under :)[/code] [b]and i want to get the same out of it:[/b] "This is my new news post Down down down Under :)" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [b]When I type this in the form now and i read it again from the database, i get this:[/b] "This is my new news postDown down downUnder :)" (no '<br>') [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":smile:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"smile.gif\" /] hope you can help me thanks
