php - Laravel Escaping All HTML in Blade Template

Question

I'm building a small CMS in Laravel and I tried to show the content (which is stored in the DB). It is showing the HTML tags instead of executing them. Its like there is an auto html_entity_decode for all printed data.

<?php

class CmsController extends BaseController
{
    public function Content($name)
    {    
        $data = Pages::where('CID', '=', Config::get('company.CID'))
            ->where('page_name', '=', $name)
            ->first();

        return View::make('cms.page')->with('content', $data);
    }
}

I tried to print the content using the curly brace.

{{ $content->page_desc }}

and triple curly brace.

{{{ $content->page_desc }}}

And they give the same result. I need to execute those HTML tags instead of escaping them.

Answer 1

Change your syntax from {{ }} to {!! !!}.

As The Alpha said in a comment above (not an answer so I thought I'd post), in Laravel 5, the {{ }} (previously non-escaped output syntax) has changed to {!! !!}. Replace {{ }} with {!! !!} and it should work.
