Description:
------------
Running version: 5.2.14

After a lot of tests and reading, I experimenting a problem since we've upgraded the PHP version from 5.2.6 to 5.2.14

The problem is when i'm trying to put a xml string in a array, i'm loosing the amperstamp (&)characters in the output of xml_parse_into_struct function.

Maybe it's a new features that I can't understand, but it look like a Bug.

Note: The Bug is in the URL tag in my XML structure.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$xmlValues  = array();
$xmlIndex   = array();

$parser     = xml_parser_create("");

// Case management option
xml_parser_set_option(
$parser,
XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING,
1
);
        
// White space management option
xml_parser_set_option(
$parser,
XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE,
            0
);
		
xml_parser_set_option(
$parser,
XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING,
"UTF-8"
);



$data = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><COLLECTION><DOCUMENT><TITRE>Some Title</TITRE><URL>http://www.test.com?param1=1&amp;param2=2</URL><DATE>1285352820</DATE></DOCUMENT></COLLECTION>";

xml_parse_into_struct(
            $parser,
            $data,
            $xmlValues,
            $xmlIndex
        );
		
var_dump($xmlValues);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
array(6) { [0]=>  array(3) { ["tag"]=>  string(10) "COLLECTION" ["type"]=>  string(4) "open" ["level"]=>  int(1) } [1]=>  array(3) { ["tag"]=>  string(8) "DOCUMENT" ["type"]=>  string(4) "open" ["level"]=>  int(2) } [2]=>  array(4) { ["tag"]=>  string(5) "TITRE" ["type"]=>  string(8) "complete" ["level"]=>  int(3) ["value"]=>  string(10) "Some Title" } [3]=>  array(4) { ["tag"]=>  string(3) "URL" ["type"]=>  string(8) "complete" ["level"]=>  int(3) ["value"]=>  string(36) "http://www.test.com?param1=1&amp;param2=2" } [4]=>  array(3) { ["tag"]=>  string(8) "DOCUMENT" ["type"]=>  string(5) "close" ["level"]=>  int(2) } [5]=>  array(3) { ["tag"]=>  string(10) "COLLECTION" ["type"]=>  string(5) "close" ["level"]=>  int(1) } } 

Actual result:
--------------
array(6) { [0]=>  array(3) { ["tag"]=>  string(10) "COLLECTION" ["type"]=>  string(4) "open" ["level"]=>  int(1) } [1]=>  array(3) { ["tag"]=>  string(8) "DOCUMENT" ["type"]=>  string(4) "open" ["level"]=>  int(2) } [2]=>  array(4) { ["tag"]=>  string(5) "TITRE" ["type"]=>  string(8) "complete" ["level"]=>  int(3) ["value"]=>  string(10) "Some Title" } [3]=>  array(4) { ["tag"]=>  string(3) "URL" ["type"]=>  string(8) "complete" ["level"]=>  int(3) ["value"]=>  string(36) "http://www.test.com?param1=1param2=2" } [4]=>  array(3) { ["tag"]=>  string(8) "DOCUMENT" ["type"]=>  string(5) "close" ["level"]=>  int(2) } [5]=>  array(3) { ["tag"]=>  string(10) "COLLECTION" ["type"]=>  string(5) "close" ["level"]=>  int(1) } }

Please try using this snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:

  http://windows.php.net/snapshots/

Works as expected for me on a current 5.2 build: the relevant bit of
output is:


  [3]=>
  array(4) {
    ["tag"]=>
    string(3) "URL"
    ["type"]=>
    string(8) "complete"
    ["level"]=>
    int(3)
    ["value"]=>
    string(37) "http://www.test.com?param1=1&param2=2"
  }

Note the decoded ampersand in the value.

I saw in the snapshot you've send me, the BUG is corrected in version 2.5.15.


- Fixed bug #45996 (libxml2 2.7 causes breakage with character data in
  xml_parse()). (Rob)

Thanx!
