New Comment:
This has been triaged to "Feature request" but it's a straight bug in
the implementation: the docs claim that xml_parse_into_struct parses
XML into a pair of arrays but the function doesn't do that.
(at the very least, a warning should be in the documentation for
xml_parse_into_struct that it will fubar your data if you have entities
in it, but I'd obviously prefer that the function just worked properly)

Description:
------------
When called on an XML document that contains defined entities,
xml_parse_into_struct silently drops the entities from the parsed
output.
(If the entity is undefined, it returns an error)
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$data = implode ("", file('entityexample.xml'));
$parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option ($parser,XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING,0);
xml_parser_set_option ($parser,XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE,1);
xml_parse_into_struct ($parser,$data,$values,$tags);
xml_parser_free ($parser);
#echo "VALS\n"; print_r($values);
#echo "TAGS\n"; print_r($tags);
echo $values[2]['value']."\n";
?>
---------- entityexample.xml --------------
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE test [
<!ENTITY times "FOO BAR">
]>
<test>
<item>
<name>One × two</name>
</item>
</test>
Expected result:
----------------
The entity should either be not replaced:
One × two
or it should be correctly replaced:
One FOO BAR two
Actual result:
--------------
The entity is silently dropped from the XML stream:
One two
