How to safely save user inputed code to the database

Question

I have section on my site where users can submit code. I want to safely store to the database.

I am using php. I tried using html purifier to save data to the database, but it removes all the code.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks.

When you save to the database using cakephp's save method, you are automatically protected from SQL injection.
