Textarea produces a fixed-size input field. &nbsp;Not a good fit for displaying database contents (essentially an on-screen report).

I have html code contained in a database (MySQL) of code maintenance information. &nbsp;I want to be able to display the html code without having the code interpreted.<br />
<br />
Is there a php function to encode the html so that it displays as text (showing all of the tags)? &nbsp;Or is there an HTML tag set that stops the interpretation of content between tags?<br />
<br />
Thanks

How to display HTML code from database using PHP and preventing the browser from interpreting the code.

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
