Re: Displaying html

It depends on how you have magic quotes set up in your php.ini file. Mine are set up as follows: magic_quotes_gpc On On magic_quotes_runtime Off Off which I believe is the default, because I certainly never changed them. I have never had a problem simply inserting or selecting html without the need for using any of the escape functions. In other words, I do it just like I would any other data and it works well.
