Form helper bug

[eluser]Twisted1919[/eluser]
I found this bug today while i was re-posting a form over and over .
Here is what's happening , let's suppose that we have an input field like :

Code:

<?php $variable = 'My input field" content';?>
<input type="hidden" name="my_input" id="my_input" value="<?php echo set_value($variable);?>"/>

Now, for example, if validation failed, my field will show :

Code:

My input field" content

Then if i hit the refresh button of my browser or if i submit the form again, the value becomes :

Code:

My input field" content
//And so on .

hm... I've bumped into the same problem today - while validating a form and repopulating fields which contain some HTML code, when the form value(s) isn't valid I can see each time a new "amp;" added... E.g. a field contains ampersand character: "&" (some URL). Each time the field 's being repopulated there is "&", the next submit - "&", the next - "&".... etc...

And I can see that there is no answer since the same question appeared for the first time 3+ months ago ((...
