Hi, You are at least half correct. xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefaultValue has nothing to do with DTD. However, while the _get method you have illustrated here makes reference to the wrong variable, the _set method does not suffer the same problem. So, while the script return value interrogating the variable is not correct, the functionality should be. Does the DTD entity loading work when you set it?
