Operating system: Mac OS X 10.2.8
PHP version: 5.0.0RC2
PHP Bug Type: SimpleXML related
Bug description: simplexml_load_string chokes on " "
Description:
------------
When trying to load a string containing an HTML-encoded
non-breaking space (" ") with
simplexml_load_string, I get the following warning:
Warning: Entity: line 14: error: Entity 'nbsp' not
defined in /Library/WebServer/Documents/simple.php on
line 11
But other HTML-escaped characters like > and <
make it through fine.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$xmlstr = <<<XML
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<rss>
<channel>
<item>
<title>This is the title</title>
<link>http://globelogger.com</link>
<description>This is the description</description>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>
XML;
$xml = simplexml_load_string(utf8_encode($xmlstr));
foreach($xml->channel->item as $item) {
echo "<b><a
href=".$item->link.">".$item->title."</a></b><br>".$item->description."<p>";
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
<b><a href=http://globelogger.com>This is the title</
a></b><br>This is the description<p>
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Entity: line 7: error: Entity 'nbsp' not
defined in /Library/WebServer/Documents/test.php on
line 15
Warning: This�is the description in /Library/
WebServer/Documents/test.php on line 15
Warning: ^ in /Library/
WebServer/Documents/test.php on line 15
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /
