Writing Syntax text/html

[mcmuney]

Below is my insert script. The problem I'm facing is that when I input, "<a href="test">TEST</a>" the DB writes "<a href="test">TEST</a>" and I want it to write exactly what I input:

 

		$sql_comm="INSERT INTO `sc_postcomment_member` ( `scm_mem_id`, `comment`, `post_date`, `comm_from`) VALUES ('$scm_mem_id', '$txt_comment', UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), '$social_mem_id')"; 
	$res_comm=$db->insert_data($sql_comm);

<?php
$str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>";

// Outputs: A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
echo htmlentities($str);

// Outputs: A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>
echo htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);
?>

It's not about the output, but how it inserts the data. I want the data inserted to be carbon copy as data typed.

strip_tags() perhaps?

 

<?php
if( isset( $_POST ) )
{
$rawr = strip_tags( $_POST["rawr"] );

// Etc. etc...
?>
