Description: ------------ I have the a xml file (test.xml) containing following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <applications> <application> <id>1</id> <application_name>A&B</application_name> </application> </applications> When trying to unserialize it the '&' is removed from the string (entirely). Please note that everything goes OK on my Windows PC (with same package and php version). Only on the solaris server I have this issue. Test script: --------------- <?php $options = array( 'complexType' => 'array', 'parseAttributes' => false, 'whitespace' => XML_UNSERIALIZER_WHITESPACE_TRIM, 'guessTypes' => false); $unserializer = &new XML_UNserializer($options); $result = $unserializer->unserialize('test.xml', true); if ($result === true) { $data = $unserializer->getUnserializedData(); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [application] => Array ( [id] => 1 [application_name] => A&B ) ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [application] => Array ( [id] => 1 [application_name] => AB ) )

Please note that I used in the xml the entity &amp;, but the bug description it doesn't decode it correctly.

See solution/workaround in Bug #16154

We've just started experiencing this is in version 0.20.2. We recently did a system upgrade, I'm not sure what version we had before. The workaround in #16154 doesn't seem to be helping. Any ideas?
