title: Which type should i use for html text in my database?
body: <p>I have a text area plugged in with tinyMCE which will contain HTML code that I wish to save into the database.</p>
  
  <p>I want to save that html code right as it is, to be able to print it anytime, and even to be able to write it down to a file <code>(using fopen("filename","w"); )</code></p>
  
  <p>Since i'm setting up the table I will be using, i do not know which type of record should I assign to this html text in my database.</p>
  
  <p>Should I..:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>use <code>addslashes/stripslashes</code> when I save/stamp the html text?</li>
  <li>or <code>htmlencodechars/decodechars</code>?</li>
  <li>or none at all?</li>
  </ul>
