Hi Cor,
I think it is because information added to a database is usually
escaped,
so when you pull it out, you get the escaped string instead of what
you originally typed.
Most, not all php coders, will put the string through something like
mysql_real_escape_string()
before inserting it into the database which will produce the exact
results your getting.
If you apply one of the following functions to the information once
pulled out, it should work.
You could try..
$String = htmlspecialchars_decode($string, ENT_QUOTES);
or
$String = html_entity_decode($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
(There are also different options for the second and third parameters.
ENT_QUOTES and 'UTF-8' can be changed to your suiting depending
on what style of quoting or character set you need. But for what your
needing, I think ENT_QUOTES is right.
It will return "<p>" instead of "e;<p>"e; (that is
what ENT_NOQUOTES does).)
I suggest these links if you want to learn more about what's going on
with these to see if they are a fit.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.html-entity-decode.php
Also, if you find it still not working, use one of the above
functions, but then try putting the return $String text inside a CDATA
[].
HTH,
Best,
Karl
