[EventCalendar] ec3_get_events() not translating ampersands into character entities

[Alex Tingle]

Hi Elizabeth,

Your entity problem in the event list are clearly a bug. I've been able 
to reproduce them on my test set-up, and I've confirmed that the fixes 
in ec3_get_events() do indeed resolve the problem. Let's call that fixed 
and move on...

However, I CANNOT reproduce your problem with missing ';' in the 
calendar. I see the behaviour on your blog, but I can't reproduce it in 
my test set-up.

Do you have PHPMyAdmin? With that, you can "export" the database into 
SQL - just zip it up and send it to me and I'll have a look. (If you 
don't mind me seeing all of your data, that is.)

Failing that, just send me what you get with this SQL:
  SELECT post_title FROM wp_posts;
Again, zip it up before you send it - that helps to ensure that the data 
survives the e-mailing process intact.

Oh, and don't send large attachments to the list - they'll get rejected. 
Just send them directly to me.

-Alex
