I am uploading text into my mysql database using a rich text box - like this one im writting in. But when it is shown on the page - it comes up not taking into account the html in the rich text box.

What should it be set as in the data base - maybe i have it wrong!

Thanks
Rachel

This is most likely not a database problem. MySQL doesn't care if you enter rich text, HTML, or plain text. The text you insert into a table only needs to be escaped (if you're using PHP, use mysql_real_escape_string().)

The field where the data is being inserted should probably be set as TEXT.
