A little hack to get around this bug:
function &safe_add_child(&$sxml, $name, $value) {
$safe_value = preg_replace('/&(?!\w+;)/', '&', $value);
return $sxml->addChild($name, $safe_value);
}

PHP 5.2.4
Looks like the problem appears when there's node already exists being
overwritten
// works ok, doesn't require encoding:
$a = simplexml_load_string('<a/>');
$a->b = "& < ' ";
// doesn't work, requires encoding:
$a = simplexml_load_string('<a><b>test</b></a>');
$a->b = "& < ' ";
// doesn't work, always requires encoding
$a->addChild('b', "& < '");
$a->addAttribute('b', "& < '");
// works ok, never requires encoding
$a['b'] = "& < '";

I tried the workaround below and it seems to work:
$xml->addChild('element', '');
$xml->element = str_replace("&", "&", "value of the
element");

Hi,
I have the same problem. My config is :
- PHP 5.2
- libxml Version 2.6.16
---------
<?php
$xmlStr = "<?xml version='1.0'
encoding='UTF-8'?><root></root>";
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlStr);
$xml->addChild("foo",utf8_encode("start < > end"));
echo "foo tag added ok";
$xml->addChild("bar",utf8_encode("start & end"));
echo "error on bar tag because of &";
$result = $xml->asXML();
echo "<pre>".htmlentities($result)."</pre>";
?>

In PHP 4.2.2 I have the same issue.
<code>
<?php
require_once("sms/messageRelay.class.php");
$doc = domxml_new_doc("1.0");
$msg = $doc->create_element("message");
$msg->set_attribute("type", "MT");
$doc->append_child($msg);
$auth = $doc->create_element("authentication");
$str = "abc < d & e > f";
$auth->set_content($str);
$msg->append_child($auth);
echo "<pre>";
echo $doc->dump_mem(true, "UTF-8");
echo "</pre>";
?>
</code>
It chokes on the &.
