PHP Bug Type: DOM XML related
Bug description: DOMDocument::loadXML() fails when entities included in string
Description:
------------
When using loadXML() to fill in a DOMDocument object from a pre-existing
XML string, entity references will cause the method to fail, even though
there does not seem to be a way to explicitly define such entity references
in the document prior to calling loadXML(), nor does it seem to be
necessary to do so when creating the same document via DOMDocument methods
directly.
Also note: I am using PHP 5.2.0-8, and cannot upgrade to 5.2.1 since my
site is on a shared server.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<h1>DOMDocument Entity Test</h1>
<h2>Created Via DOM Methods</h2>
<div>
<?php
$dd1 = new DOMDocument();
$dd1_root = $dd1->createElement('span', 'This is the sample span.');
$dd1_root = $dd1->appendChild($dd1_root);
$dd1_nbsp = $dd1->createEntityReference('nbsp');
$dd1_nbsp = $dd1_root->appendChild($dd1_nbsp);
$str = $dd1->saveXML();
echo $str;
?>
</div>
<h2>Loaded From String</h2>
<?php
$dd2 = new DOMDocument();
$dd2->loadXML($str);
echo $dd2->saveXML();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
The content of the "Created Via DOM Methods" section should be identical
to the content of the "Loaded From String" section.
Actual result:
--------------
With warnings enabled, the following message appears:
"Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML() [function.DOMDocument-loadXML]: Entity
'nbsp' not defined in Entity, line: 2 in ..."
