You store and retrieve html in a mysql database like you store/retrieve any
other string values. You would probably want a TEXT (max 64K)or MEDIUMTEXT
(max 16M) type field to store it. You would also need to escape some
characters before you store the page in the database: ", ' and \ are common
problems.

You do not say if this is entire pages or fragments of pages. If it is
entire pages, your program must output http headers, a blank line, and then
the page from the database. If it is fragments, you can just output the html
content on your result page like you do for any other scripts reading from
mysql.

Possibly... you can't get data from mysql and output it to a webpage without
some kind of scripting/programming language... and most languages may be
used. Do you use a different language today?
