Anyone who stores their presentation code in a database without differentiating the tags from the text using HTMLENTITIES() deserves to have this happen.

You, sir, deserve what you get.

The PHP function htmlentities() will make the > into a html entity that your browser wont parse into an element.

no need to backup..
you simply

create temporary table foo select * from bar;
do stuff with foo;
select * from foo;

it is better then using php’s str_replace() function. You dont need to create loops only you use replace() it is more faster.
