rich text editor displaying back from database

[1kky]

1) Script Title: cms edit

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...itor/index.htm

3) Describe problem: Hi, The problem iam having is that when i try to dispaly back the content from the db, the editor just disappers when it tries to display back the content, if i insert another tag it can display that but it doesn't display the the one i want, this is the code i have at the moment...

<?php # Script 12.3 - cmsadmin.php
//this is the main page for the site

//Set the page title and include the html header
$page_title = 'Admin Side';

require_once ('./includes/mysql_connect.php');
include('./includes/header.html');

if(isset($_GET['id']))
{
$query = "SELECT id, title, summary, contents ".
"FROM content ".
"WHERE id = '{$_GET['id']}'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error());
list($id, $title, $summary, $contents) = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM);

$contents = htmlspecialchars($contents);
}
else if(isset($_POST['title']))
{
$id = $_POST['id'];
$title = $_POST['title'];
$summary = $_POST['summary'];
$contents = $_POST['contents'];

if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$title = addslashes($title);
$summary = addslashes($summary);
$contents = addslashes($contents);
}

// update the article in the database
$query = "UPDATE content ".
"SET title = '$title', summary = '$summary', contents = '$contents' ".
"WHERE id = '$id'";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error());
mysql_close();

echo "<p align='center'>Page updated</p>";

// now we will display $title & content
// so strip out any slashes
$title = stripslashes($title);
$summary = stripslashes($summary);
$contents = stripslashes($contents);
}
?>
