I personnaly used a utf8decode($string_to_output). Don't know if it is a bug or not !

Reproduce code: --------------- $Collection = simplexml_load_file($filename); echo htmlentities((string) $Collection->DVD->Title); // Produces "Am&Atilde;&copy;lie" Expected result: ---------------- Preserve the &#233; in the title. Actual result: -------------- Changes &#233; to é ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29194&edit=1
