Description:
------------
PHP simply won't load the XML file.
Whenever it loads the file, it seems like it empties it out.
I think they have the same problem here:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2001-June/msg00153.html

Reproduce code:
---------------
index.php:

<?php


$oXML = new domdocument();
$oXML->loadXML('example.xml');
echo "done...";
?>

example.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

		Blah blah blah
		</post>
	</posts>
</topic>


Expected result:
----------------
done...

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML() [function.loadXML]: Start tag expected, '<' not found in Entity, line: 1 in W:\Apache2\htdocs\test\index.php on line 5
done...

Have you tried using the load() method instead of 
loadXML()? DomDocument::loadXML() is for XML from a 
string, while load() is from a file. You're trying to 
parse the string 'example.com'
