Formatting in PHP is quite simple, really.
heres an example of echoing some bold text:
[PHP] <?php
echo "<b>Hello World</b>";
?>[/PHP]
Also, newlines in PHP (ie <br/>) are output like this:
[PHP]echo "Hello\nWorld"[/PHP]
The above would make:

HelloI hope this has helped you
World

Well, if you have a string, and you want to replace parts of that string with another string, maybe you should search for a PHP command to replace strings.
str_replace()

You might be better to save the actual html to the database, or bbcode. There are plenty of scripts to help automate that. Let us know if you need any pointers.

something like this: http://www.isolated-designs.net/core...code-functions
but it all depends on where the text is coming from and where it's going to.
The other way to get nicely formatted text is to use an htmlarea type of tool. There is a site acting as a directory of them at http://www.htmlarea.com/
