Answer 1

You need what is called a rich text editor. You can look up tinyMCE for such purpose

EDIT

Then you need to do this

    $str = "<b>HI, I AM A PERSON</b>";
    $new_str = htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);

So that will produce

    <b>HI, I AM A BOY</>

Then to decode

    $str = "<b>HI, I AM A BOY</>";
    $new_str = html_entity_decode($str, ENT_QUOTES);

Answer 2

Try Editors to insert html into mysql
