What potential issues can arise when storing WYSIWYG editor output in a database?

One potential issue when storing WYSIWYG editor output in a database is the presence of HTML tags and formatting within the content, which can cause problems when displaying or processing the data later on. To solve this issue, you can use PHP's `strip_tags()` function to remove any HTML tags before storing the content in the database. 

// Assuming $editorOutput contains the WYSIWYG editor output
$cleanedOutput = strip_tags($editorOutput);

// Store $cleanedOutput in the database
// Example database insertion code:
// $sql = "INSERT INTO table_name (content) VALUES ('$cleanedOutput')";
// mysqli_query($connection, $sql);
