note 90236 added to simplexml.examples

Hi all, I am going mad!, I have to read an XML file and everything if fine except when I have to read a tag that contains <!CDATA[ this is the tag: <Description> <![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;In a totally refurbished apartment building. We offer you this furnished 1 bedroom (loft) apartment (86m2) with elevator and storage room in basement. Entrance; hall, toilet, luxury new kitchen, one bedroom, bathroom with toilet, shower and washing machine connection. On the Mercatorplein you will find shops and restaurants. This area is served by: tram line(s) 7, 13. It is 15 minutes to Sloterdijk Station, 20 minutes to Central Station. Also it&amp;rsquo;s close to ring A10. Parking is possible, garage &amp;euro; 112,50 per month. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;]]> </Description> and if print ( $item->Description); its content is empty!! If I do print($item->Description->asXML()); I can see: <![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;In a totally refurbished apartment building. We offer you this furnished 1 bedroom (loft) apartment (86m2) with elevator and storage room in basement.
