Drupal 7 Not Rendering HTML tags I have been trying to research this issue for about a week now but not having much luck as some of the similar postings do not make too much sense to me. Either way, I appreciate any help and guidance on this!

I have a custom module that utilizes the CKeditor and submits HTML tags to the appropriate column in the database table. Example tags: &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

I am using the views module to display results but instead of the HTML tags rendering, I am seeing: 
    &lt;p&gt;This is a test:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;test 1&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;test 2&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;test 3&lt;/li&gt; 
    &lt;/ul&gt;

When I inspect the browser I actually see: 

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This is a test:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;test 1&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;test 2&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;test 3&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;


What I want to see is:

This is a test:  test 1 test 2 test 3
Figured out a workaround. 

With having the views_php module https://www.drupal.org/project/views_php , I went into the view I was working on and clicked "add" in the fields section. 

I chose Global: PHP and the field that would be pulling my database (descr in this case). 

For the field that would be pulling from my database (descr), I chose to "Exclude from Display" and in the Global:PHP field, I choose the available variable (which was $row->descr).

There are probably better ways to do this but after spending close to a week, this works for me.
