    <p>A Foley catheter is a flexible tube passed through the urethra and 
        into the bladder to drain urine. It is the most common type of 
       indwelling urinary catheter. The tube of a Foley catheter has two 
      separated channels, or lumens, running down its length. One lumen is open at both ends, and drains urine into a collection bag. The other lumen has a valve on the outside end and connects to a balloon at the tip. The balloon is inflated with sterile water when it lies inside the bladder to stop it from slipping out. Foley catheters are commonly made from silicone rubber or natural rubber.</p>

  <p>I used coding like below to store values in table</p>
  
  <pre><code>addslashes(nl2br(iconv("UTF-8", "UTF-8//IGNORE", trim($data[12])))))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Its working fine but bullet points are not storing properly. Anyother way to achieve this.</p>
