I have a database which has a BLOB field storing text... It should probably be in a text field, but I don't think that's the problem...
The field has HTML control codes, such as <b>, </b>, and <p>. When I echo them from the database, a la:
echo "<td>" . $row['textfield'] . "</td>"
I get the contents of the field with the tags showing up, isntead of applying to the HTML.
How can I get these tags to aplpy to the text in the field?
Not really following your explanation, but if you have "<b>word</b>" as your text and you want the actual bolded word to show up in the table cell, then use what you have above.
If you want the literal "<b>word</b>" to show up, then use this:
echo '<td>' . htmlentities($row['textfield']) . '</td>';
