No, it isn't, this is for developing the xml support in php, not answering questions about xml in php. Bugreports should go to bugs.php.net, and I answered to your problem (and the solution to it) already on php-general at Sat, 24 Jul 2004 18:22:47 +0200 ;). But it obviously didn't get through, so here's it again... *** Yep, that looks like a bug... Can you please file a bug at bugs.php.net? The workaround is to write the following: $node = $dom->createElement("foo"); $text = $dom->createTextNode( "which entities <i>does</i> it escape & which doesn't it?"); $node->appendChild($text); $root->appendChild($node); *** So, please just open a bugreport and someone will take care of it some day.. And as there's a perfect valid "workaround", it's not thaaaat big of a deal chregu

$dom = new DOMDocument(); $root = $dom->createElement("test"); $dom->appendChild($root); $node = $dom->createElement("foo", "which entities <i>does</i> it escape & which doesn't it?"); $root->appendChild($node); echo $dom->saveXML(); The result will be: <?xml version="1.0"?> <test><foo>which entities &lt;i&gt;does&lt;/i&gt; it escape </foo></test> It stops at the &, which I think is strange. It escapes the < to &lt; and > to &gt;, but not & to &amp;. It would be better if it escaped none or all entites that "can do harm". Or what do you think? regards, Victor
