   Hello!
   I'm using the update_option function to update a option in the DB.
   The problem is that the update function have html tag protection or somthing like that so it update the content to the database like that:
   Test<br><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Bold</span><br><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Italic</span><br><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Underline</span><br>
   Instead like this:
   Test<br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bold</span><br><span style="font-style: italic;">Italic</span><br><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Underline</span><br>

   Please help me, Thanks in advanced.

   I'm assuming that you want to do something with that html code somewhere?

   I have yet to find a way to prevent that function from escaping the quotes, but you could try using the php built-in-function 'stripslashes()' to display the html properly anyway, like so:

   <?php
   
   $display = '<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Bold</span>';//the content
   
   echo stripslashes($display);
   
   ?>

   This will display your content as if the update_option function hadn't escaped all the quotes.
