Java entities lose starting backslash when displayed or edited

[Former user]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 114

Unicode Characters kept as Java entities like \uXXXX lose backslash at the beginning
when displayed or edited. Bad thing actually: makes the script useless unless you're
going o empty or drop some table.

Thanks for reporting this issue and sorry that you got no reply yet.

I guess this problem is caused by the formatString() method which has been introduced
quite early in version 1.2. It runs stripslashes() on the values, but I cannot see
any reason for this. I'll have a closer look at this, but I guess we might drop the
whole formatString() method and instead use the htmlencode()-function I introduced
lately. It does more or less the same thing, with these differences:
- does not run stripslashes() ;-)
- sets encoding to UTF-8 so the strings are handled properly (at the moment phpliteadmin
is UTF-8 only)
- uses htmlentities() instead of htmlspecialchars(). This will replace some more characters.
- properly encodes quotes (which is quite important at some places)

Just fixed this issue in SVN. As planned, I dropped formatString() completely and used
htmlencode() everywhere instead.
