character display problem

[jdleung]

Chinese name cannot be displayed normally in admin comment page. but the message is ok.

found two lines in admin/comments.php

$message = pullout($row['message']);
$name = htmlentities(pullout($row['name']));

can use htmlspecialchars() instead? and why doesn't $message need too?

In PP 1.6 final edit line 243

delete htmlentities

$name = pullout($row['name']);

Thanks, Trauko.

I solved this using htmlspecialchars(), and I just wanna know why not to use this function? or if it's a bug add htmlentities() to $name but doesn't add to $message?
