    in mysql db, it stores html code then it displays like this
    <p><strong><sub><font size="3">By </font></sub></strong><a

    The tags are being converted. Before displaying, you may need to run the data returned from the MySQL database through html_entity_decode, as in

    $string = '&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;By &lt;/font&gt;';
$string = html_entity_decode( $string);
echo $string;
    Code (markup):
