The data is saved in the wrong format (ascii code)

The data is saved as ASCII codes in my databank so the rendering in my web pages shows the html tags and do not render the styles, etc. How can I correct this? I want the editor1 data saved showing the tags (not the Ascii code for "<" or ">").

Example (the way it is saved in my DBase) :
"&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot;"

instead of "<p><img alt""

Note: In my wysiwyg editing window (source) everything looks normal - html codes.
