html encoding or charset?

[pchardnet]

Friends, firstly thank you for offering the userspice to the world.

I have a little problem
When you save a text from a form the characters are saved in the encrypted form.

Example:
I write: João Carrão
He writes: Jo&atilde';o Carr&atilde';o (except the symbol ')

DB Collation = utf8_general_ci
Users Table = Innodb + utf8_general_ci

Any suggestions for what might be happening?

Jo&atilde';o Carr&atilde';o

That is to prevent SQL injection attacks on the database where users upload javascript and things like that to the database.

What happens if you echo that text back out? It should come out properly, right?

Hi Mudmin!
I got the reason.
Yes, content recovery happens correctly.

Thank you for your help
