w3c validation for "<"

[flapane]

While waiting to solve the resizing thing using Imagemagik, I noticed that there are a few errors which involve the sql char "<".

Line 717, Column 65: character "<" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data

[2] => DELETE FROM `flapanec_db`.cpg132_sessions WHERE time < 1339770630 AND remember = 0 [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:247] (0 ms)

This message may appear in several cases:

    You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "&lt;"
    You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&amp;", which is always safe.
    Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a previous tag.

That's just the debug output which is usually disabled for the public. However, to create valid HTML code for even that cases, open include/functions.inc.php, find

    echo "USER: ";
    echo $debug_underline;
    print_r($USER);
    echo $debug_separate;
    echo "USER DATA:";
    echo $debug_underline;

    echo $debug_underline;

        echo $debug_underline;

            session_start();
        }
        print_r($_SESSION);
        echo $debug_separate;
    }
and replace with

            session_start();
        }
        echo htmlentities(print_r($_SESSION, true));
        echo $debug_separate;
    }

Please report the results. I haven't checked for any side-effects yet.

Fixed, thanks. The error disappeared and the debug panel keeps working.
I guess it might be included in the next release.
