I will assume you are trying to display the html code and that's why you'd like to convert it into html. In PHP when you want to display some html code instead just use the echo command to display the code inside of your html and use the htmlspecialchars_decode function to ensure it will work properly. For example see below:

<?php
//some database call here to get our string seen below

$database_string ='<i>Some text</i>;
?>
<html>
<?php echo  htmlspecialchars_decode($database_string); ?>

<!-- some other html stuff -->

</html>

This will allow you to display that I tag with the some text inside the html.
