如何在php页面中以html格式显示textarea

How to show plain text which is inside of following php as html rich text?

<?php echo $text_description; ?>

for example:

the html code inside of above code is:

    <b><font color="#0066FF">English </font><br><font color="#FF00FF"><br></font><br><br><font color="#6666FF">Account Number: 1234567890 Account Holder </font><br><br><font color="#990000">Name:  Swift Code: <img src="logo.png"></font></b>

But in front page . it's showing as plain text, not rich text, how to solve it?

thanks in advance

consider using htmlspecialchars($str); where $str is your string.
