[AppDB] Problem with xinha, compile_update_string() and query_parameters()

[Tony Lambregts]

We have a problem with xinha, compile_update_string() and query_parameters(). 
Xinha changes double quotes, ampersands, the less than symbol, the greater than 
symbol and probably others into their HTML Ampersand Character Codes[1]. This 
conflicts with what mysql_real_escape_string() does and causes 
query_parameters() to refuse to update the database when there is an one of 
these characters in a Xinha field.

I have investigated this for quite a while now and am unsatisfied with any quick 
solution that have looked at.
