PHP how to save HTML string into database
<p>In response to an API call, I'm getting a full HTML script. Full means it includes HTML CSS and Javascript. Now I have that HTML as string in PHP variable.</p>

<pre><code>$content = '&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
  &lt;script&gt;--Some javascript and libraries included--&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
   &lt;style&gt;--Some Styling--&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;';
</code></pre>

<p>Now, what is the best way to save this variable in Database and How? </p>

<ul>
<li>As a string with VARCHAR  or TEXT type?</li>
<li>As a string with Base64 Encoded with VARCHAR or TEXT type?</li>
<li>As a Binary with BLOB type?</li>
</ul>

<p>Or any other you would like to suggest(May be Serialize or Pack)?</p>
