HTML tags from Database not interpreted as HTML in browser

html, php

Solution

Try using html_entity_decode()

`$comment = html_entity_decode($comment);`

You can also try using htmlspecialchars_decode

`$comment = htmlspecialchars_decode($comment);`

Problem

So I have a record in the database from a field named `comments`. ``` Comment from <a href='www.google.com'># 12345</a><b>Hello</b> ``` but upon displaying in the browser, it's not being interpreted as HTML but as a plain text and displaying as is. I'm expecting: Comment from # 12345Hello Code so far: ``` $comment = $adb->query_result($result,$i,'comments'); $comment = wordwrap($comment, 150, " ", true); $comment = htmlentities($comment, ENT_QUOTES); ``` I've tried to comment out `htmlentities` line but still displaying the same. Any idea how can I solve this?
