#31139 [NEW]: No longer parses "&"

From: exaton at free dot fr Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.0.3 PHP Bug Type: XML related Bug description: No longer parses "&" Description: ------------ I parse my XML with the "XML parser functions" (xml_parser_create() and all that). Up to PHP 5.0.2 I had no problem, and suddenly the following has appeared in 5.0.3 : I used to put é in an XML file to recuperate the é HTML entity in my page output and therefore an acute-accentuated e in the text. This was perfectly coherent with XML specs, and worked fine. Now the output on the page has simply dropped the "&" that should come from & , therefore parsing é into eacute; -- which of course is perfectly unwanted. é is of course not the only affected entity : I'm not seeing a single & in any content obtained from parsing XML. Note : explicitely passing a charset string to xml_parser_create() did not solve this. Reproduce code: --------------- $this -> parser = xml_parser_create(); xml_parser_set_option($this -> parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 1); xml_parser_set_option($this -> parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0); // $this -> contents has the plaintext contents of an XML file, prone to contain things like é xml_parse_into_struct($this -> parser, $this -> contents, $this -> values, $this -> index); xml_parser_free($this -> parser); Expected result: ---------------- When I eventually recuperate the output with my custom architecture, I expect things like é to have been parsed into é -- they always were up to and including PHP 5.0.2 . Actual result: -------------- In PHP 5.0.3, é for example is now parsed into eacute; -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31139&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=31139&r=mysqlcfg
