Store it in MySQL exactly as you get it from the user. Then when you are displaying it, use something like:
[code]echo nl2br(htmlspecialchars($row['text']));[/code]
That will replace line breaks with <br> and will also replace < with &lt; and > with &gt; so that their HTML shows up as HTML text instead of being rendered.
