Formatting database results

[eluser]Jondolar[/eluser]
You may want to put the data into the database in the same way that you want to display it. That way you won't have to uc_words() or htmlentities() every time you display it. Might not work for you depending on what else you do with the data.

Also, I too like to format the data prior to sending it to the view for the same reason as you. Others that modify the view file (html code) don't want to mess with any php functions at all.
