How can I safely store HTML?

Hello there PHP experts! I have a simple question. Basically I have a script that takes user input and processes it through this procedure:

strip_tags(trim(htmlentities($_POST['field'])));

 

However, the problem is that I come back with values such as

 

[quote]This is Track 10 of 20 of the album ¡U&I R 1MB!
The album will be released April 30th, free for download.  Here is a sample from the album ¡ENJOY![/quote]

 

And

 

[quote]¡U&I R 1MB![/quote]

 

Is there any way I can take the user input and disallow HTML but still display quotation marks and funky characters like upside down exclamation marks?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
