Firstly sorry for asking this, I do know that storing HTML in a database
is a bad idea. However I have inherited a MySQL database which does just
that.
When trying to display the data with echo or print the HTML is ignored,
if I echo the data to the default value of a textarea in a form, the
HTML formating works.
I need to output the formated text in an easily printable format, the
size of the data in the field varies enormously so simply using a fixed
size textarea would not be practical.
This is an example of the type of data stored:
