Re: AW: AW: [PHP] MORE QUESTION - Editing Database
Hi ! How do I allow HTML entries into my database? I tried to insert a pre-formated text into my database. When I pull the data out and put it in a text field the formating is still there, HOWEVER when I retrive the record from the database using "echo" all the text formating is gone and it became just a straigh line. What function should I use in this case??? Could anybody please help? Thank you! Dani > Hi Dani, > > For sure you can use a database.

Hi Dani, i do prefer using a database. I think it is the most dynamic way for creating and (important !!!) managing a website. Preformatted text isn't a problem with a database.
