PHP, MySQL & storing HTML tags

Hello ng,

I'm completely stuck with my PHP program. I'm using a form to add products
to my MySQL database. I specifically want to use HTML tags to be saved along
with the text.
I'm looking at a piece I code I can't imagine being incorrect... yet my
query results in absolutely nothing, not even an error.

$Query = "INSERT INTO products_description (products_id, language_id,
products_name, products_description) VALUES ('$Temp', '1', '$Titel',
'$Beschrijving')";
$QueryResultaat = mysql_query ($Query);

Of course the connection to the database has been properly made, and above
variables all have the right values. The only possible reason why this code
won't work is because of HTML tags in $Beschrijving... I think.

Please help me out here! I am going nuts.... I need to store the HTML tags
in my MySQL database and if there's a special trick to get it to work, that
would be great. However, the HTML tags need to be retrieved as well, so
converting it to something else won't do.

MUCH thanks in advance if you can fix this problem that's been stalling my
progress for some hours now.

Regards,
Willem van der Berg
