htmlspecialchars() bug in blogger.com

Found a strange htmlspecialchars() bug in blogger.com

The title of my blog is <?php echo 'R. Rajesh Jeba Anbiah'; ?>, but blogger.com doesn't convert the html entities in the title when it spits out. Because of this bug, the title doesn't appear in my blog--browser just treats it as a broken html tag. This bug could have been fixed by using htmlspecialchars(), if it's powered by PHP.

Also, noticed that this compose box eats any texts entered such.

I gonna report this bug.

Yes, lawrence krubner. They may be stripping html tags. But, the compose box is really buggy. If you switch between "Edit HTML", "Compose" and "Preview", sometimes some of your texts will vanish suddenly.

This htmlspecialchars() bug appears only in blog tittle/header; in all other places they're converting it to proper html entities.

So far I have referred many and all are happy with his approach. Every wannabe doctor should visit him personally to understand his approach. I wish him to be more famous than now.

Zac Brown Band rocks...

When I was doing UG, my super-senior friend Ronald introduced me to MLTR and I was totally taken away by the music then. About 15-years later, I'm feeling same ecstasy when listening to Zac Brown Band 's Whatever It Is and Highway 20 Ride . The voice and music are amazingly cool.

Open source PHP frameworks and problems

I was using CakePHP for sometime and proposed CakePlus , another UIMS toolkit on the top of CakePHP but also altering some problematic core of it. The thread should explain the outcome of the post. And, then I noted Akelos framework has most of the things built in. Issues with frameworks esp. CakePHP Scalability not a priority - Developers aren't aware that we can't throw more and more hardware Excessive use of regular expressions Evangelist isn't aware that the framework throws many queries unnecessarily More memory consumption - 100M would never be enough for a simple project Poor coding standards and practices - Prolong use of extract() often leads to more memory consumption Can't use the native approaches or baked codes. The override approach always lead to hard to debug codes Poor architected codes and no clear defined approaches. People belong to the cult drives the direction and often throws unprofiled codes. No native provision to share codes between M-V-C and...
