Sorry...  Wrong copy/paste for the actual result...

ERROR [2]domdocument::loadHTMLFile() [<a
href='function.loadHTMLFile'>function.loadHTMLFile</a>]:
htmlParseEntityRef: expecting ';' in http://www.php.net/, line: 118.
PHP 5.0.0RC1-dev (WINNT).  at line 5

Description:
------------
Using the example for LoadHTML the www.php.net site contains a URL with
an ampersand (line 118 <a
href="http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php-src/NEWS?login=2&r1=1.1247.2.452&r2=1.1247.2.522";>NEWS</a>
file.).  The error says it is looking for a missing ";", apparently
thinking it should be an entity.

When I remove the try/catch, no errors occur, but nothing gets printed.
 Using a different URL to a file without the & works correctly.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
try
{
    $dom = new domdocument;
    @$dom->loadHTMLFile("http://www.php.net/";);
    $xp = new domxpath($dom);
    $result = $xp->query("/html/head/title");
    print $result[0]->firstChild->data;
}
catch (exception $exc)
{
    print $exc->getMessage()." at line ".$exc->getLine();
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor

Actual result:
--------------
<?php
try
{
    $dom = new domdocument;
    @$dom->loadHTMLFile("http://www.php.net/";);
    $xp = new domxpath($dom);
    $result = $xp->query("/html/head/title");
    print $result[0]->firstChild->data;
}
catch (exception $exc)
{
    print $exc->getMessage()." at line ".$exc->getLine();
}

?>
