[PHP-DB] Retrieve HTML from db

2001-11-20 Thread Joe Van Meer

Hi there...I have a db filled with various HTML code examples, tags, etc...
how would I format it so that it would appear like A href='index.php'Link
One/a. I was using the strip_tags() function and quickly found out that
this wasn't the best way to do it :)

Cheers, Joe:)

[PHP-DB] Retrieve HTML from db

2001-11-20 Thread Russ Michell

* You could cheat and wrap anchor tags around the DB content you want to display as a 
hyperlink
* If you know which variable from the DB you wish to be displayed as a link then:

$variable = a href=\yourpage.php\$variable/a;

HTH :-)

Try htmlentities() or htmlspecialchars(), which is what I use.
