If you're developing a web site, you need to learn a little HTML and CSS to go along with the PHP. The old school way to put something in italics is to wrap it in the the italics tag

this is in italics or

this <?=$my_php_variable?> in italics

the preferred method these days is to use style sheets

in italics

on your page and

div.italics {

font-style: italic;

/* other style data */

}

in your included style sheet file (project_styles.css).

A little googleing should get you a all the help you need

Create a calculation in your FM table using the GetAsCSS(text) function... where text is the field that contains the formatted entry.

In you PHP/FileMaker routines, refer to and display the calculated field. Almost all formatting (Bold, italic, font, color, etc) will display as entered with formatting preserved.
