Description:
------------
There are some encoding problems with the events listed on php.net.

1) Wrong title like here: http://www.php.net/cal.php?id=153&cm=08&cy=2009
The function display_event in include/layout.inc doesn't tell htmlspecialchars to use UTF-8. You can find a proposed patch here: http://jansspielwiese.pytalhost.de/php/layout.inc.diff
It should also correct the handling of URLs in case someone wants to use special characters in them.

2) Wrong description like here: http://www.php.net/cal.php?id=1198&cm=08&cy=2009
This seems to be caused by messed up encodings in the descriptions in events.csv. Sometimes the descriptions are correctly stored in UTF-8 and sometimes they are not. However, I didn't find the exact source of the problem.

This bug has been fixed in SVN. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the SVN server, the fix might need some time to spread
across the globe to all mirror sites, including PHP.net itself.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP.net better.

Nice catch & thanks for the patch.

I also manually changed the encoding in event#1198.

We currently do not detect the encoding submitted, and I think we blindly assume its utf8...
