Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-05-22 02:40:06] cmb@php.net > the result of test script below is different between php version > 5.1.6 and version 5.3.2. That is because the relevant bug has been fixed in PHP 5.2.6[1]. You don't have to escape HTML entities (actually, you should not) when assigning to a node; that is supposed to be done by SimpleXML[2].

To get the expected behavior, use addChild(). <?php $xml_element = new simpleXMLElement('<root></root>'); $xml_element->addchild('node1', 'a &#38; b'); var_dump($xml_element->node1); /* object(SimpleXMLElement)#2 (1) { [0]=> string(5) "a & b" } */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-11 18:11:30] felipe@php.net This report remember another report.
