Render HTML Tags

When you store HTML tags in your database, you would like to retrieve these datas as HTML Content, not a string right ?

<?php echo $row['description']; ?>`

Maybe when you want to display this data, it show as a string character :

<ul><li>Hello, I am PHP</li></ul>

Don’t worry, call your best elePHPhant 🐘 and use htmlspecialchars_decode()

The htmlspecialchars() function converts some predefined characters to HTML entities

<?php echo htmlspecialchars($row['description']); ?>
