How to put articles into mysql database

[inoob]

I am looking at websites and they seem to have articles placed in their databases with img and link formats.

I am wondering how to put articles with formatting (link to images, hyperlinks) into a mysql database for each article written. I heard something about SQL injections related to this issue as well?

thanks in advance.

Well! if you want to store image in database you need to encode it into base64 format. It returns image into text form. And if you want to store hyperlinks it is possible directly but need to do some formatting using addslashes(). It adds '/' character like this <a href=\"http:\/\/google.com\">

Can't I just copy and paste the HTML as TEXT into mysql instead and this solves the problem?
