note 32049 added to ref.xml

I'm having problems parsing a url with get variables. For example, when I parse this element: <URL>http://slashdot.org?a=1&amp;b=2&amp;c=3</URL> My xml_set_character_data_handler function gets called five times: data = http://slashdot.org?a=1 data = & data = b=2 data = & data = c=3 I'm expecting it to get called once: data = http://slashdot.org?a=1&amp;b=2&amp;c=3 Is there an option to turn this behavior off? -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32049 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32049 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32049
