See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=31191 Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: domdocument.createelement#Parameters --- "The value of the element. By default, an empty element will be created. You can also set the value later with DOMElement->nodeValue." Expected result: ---------------- There should be a comment about how the $value parameter must be escaped and that the developer probably should use $document->createTextElement() instead. Perhaps something like this: "The ampersand-escaped value of the element. By default, an empty element will be created. You can also set the value later with DOMElement->nodeValue. To create a text node with escaping support, leave out this parameter, use DOMDocument->createTextElement() and append the text node to your DOMElement." Actual result: -------------- "The value of the element. By default, an empty element will be created. You can also set the value later with DOMElement->nodeValue." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50742&edit=1
