old webassist MySQL site to new MySQLi update with DataBridge

I have a large dynamic site I built with a bunch of WA tools. I am in the process of converting it to MySQLi with the new extension I bought. Do I need to do anything to the existing database as part of the update of code from MySQL to MySQLi?

All seems to upgrade well but old fields that stored rich text (with html markup) are now showing as plain text WITH the html as part of the text. Could this be a code issue or database issue?

Here is how the new echo looks:

echo $rsContent->getColumnVal('Content');

Any help appreciated!

You don't have to do anything to the database.

The MySQLi version has built in Cross Site Scripting protection which prevents display of html on the page in case a user does it maliciously.

You can disable that in the rsobj.php file settings by updating that page globally (you will see it near the top of the page), or you can disable it for just the fields you want to allow html to display like:

<?php

echo $rsContent->getColumnVal('Content',false);

?>

Great! This did it! Thank you. Still have issues with other pages in my conversion (I'll submit separate tickets) but this solved a big hurdle.
