<b> will appear as <b> and every code will jsut appear as is but it wont work
ok so that being the case, we're seeing that the problem is down to the method you're using to echo out the data, if <b> is still <b> in the database then when it gets to your script should you be selecting it yourself (as the query i swapped for you earlier provided) it will still be <b> at which point your duty is to echo it out via whatever method you feel fit should it be to eval(); it, print(); it or echo();
you're not getting me, i mean is this going on it's own page or member.php? why does it need to be with the additional fields on member.php if it's there etc.
