[pasting a table in html code into a field]

Ok thanks toon I will try what you have mentioned

[pasting a table in html code into a field]

Yeah i tried that but what happens is the table drops down for some reason half way down where its supposed to be.
is this a formatting problem ?.

[pasting a table in html code into a field]

is there a way to pasting a table in html code into a field on a form then submit it to a database and display the entry as a table.

etc if i paste this into a field called info.

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%">
  <tr>
    <td width="33%">name</td>
    <td width="33%">surname</td>
    <td width="34%">age</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="33%">billy</td>
    <td width="33%">gates</td>
    <td width="34%">54</td>
  </tr>
</table>

how would i then display it as a table instead of the code.
this is how i currently display and convert text

    $info = nl2br(stripslashes($row['info']));

sorry for the poor description of what i need to do
