Also Ethan,
Here are some links I'd like to share with you which I think if you peruse through these, 
will give you a better understanding on, 

one: how to protect the database

http://us2.php.net//manual/en/mysqli.real-escape-string.php


two: how to display the data from that database.

http://www.php.net//manual/en/function.htmlspecialchars.php

Both are pretty quick reads and will give you more familiarity with what your working on I believe.
I noticed you never use these and IMO they are essential to good database programming.
HTH,

Best,

PS: Others may have a better way then I, but this was a quick throw together. Forgive me if it isn't 100% on the money.
