I am using tcl ( ncgi and tclobdc ) so it is more like the excerpts
below:

ie I input:

<h1>Hello World </h1>

<p>xyz <p/>
.........

into the text area field, save:

set page_content [ ncgi::value textarea_field_name]

database connect dbh $datasource $dbuser $dbpassword

set sql "INSERT INTO profile (page_content) \
VALUES('$page_content') "

dbh $sql

......................

......................

......................

view:

set sql "SELECT page_content FROM profile \
WHERE page_id = $page"

set page_content [lindex [ dbh $sql ] 0]

::ncgi::header "text/html

...........................

...........................

...........................

puts "<textarea id='page_content' name='page_content'> $page_content
</
textarea>"

.........................................................

........................................................

in browser I see:

{<h1>Hello World </h1>

<p>xyz <p/>
.........
}

On a subsequent update I see

{{

<h1>Hello World </h1>

<p>xyz <p/>
.........
}}

On another I see

{{{

<h1>Hello World </h1>

<p>xyz <p/>
.........
