Summary04668: Answers with "<" character disappear in mail response submission and in pdf print
Description

I created a list (dropdown) question with the following labelset:
<10
10-100

100

Now, the answers appear properly in the printedversion, but disappear in the email response submission (full version) and in the pdf version.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Create/select a survey, enable mail submission of full answers.

  2. Create/select a question of type:
    List (Dropdown)
    or
    Type=='!'

  3. Create a label set with the three options
    a. <10
    b. 10-100
    c. >100

Run a survey, choose option a (<10).
Submit and print answers.

OK: The on-screen print will show the correct answer.

Wrong: Pressing the pdf button will give you a pdf that contains the question without the answer (neither the full answer text, nor the answer code).

Wrong: The admin mail with the Response submission contains the question without the answer (neither the full answer text, nor the answer code).

Additional Information

I presume that the problem lies in the '<' character that is used as an html tag.
I presume that the strip_tags function replaces:
"<10 [a]"
with
""
(I.e. an empty string.)

I could not easily find the proper strip_tags.
Further, I tried to replace ENT_QUOTES with ENT_COMPAT to not only protect quotes, but also the '<' and the '>' character, but could not make that work.

TagsNo tags attached.

I circumvented the issue by changing the label from:
"<10"
into:
"less than 10".

That solved my problem, but this is not neat for it contains English text.

Fixed in rev 9228.

Even with this fix you will have to use the '<' proper HTML tag for a < sign.
