From: milman at gmx dot de Operating system: WindowsXP PHP version: 5.1.4 PHP Bug Type: SimpleXML related Bug description: different by attribute-assignment if new attribute or old attribute Description: ------------ if you make an assignmet to an attribute and the value you assign has special chars, it makes a difference if the attribute is new or not. the best way would be if there was no need for the htmlspecialchars function call.
