If I understand your question correctly, htmlentities() is all you need to display HTML exactly as it was entered. For only allowing specific ones to be interpreted, you can perform str_replace() operations. For example: str_replace('&lt;b&gt;', '<b>', $blah); str_replace('&lt;/b&gt;', '</b>', $blah); Hope that helps.
