Description:
------------
When an entity contains a nested (special character) entity, the handler is not called properly, and this can result in malformed XML.

I worked on this for about 30 mins, tonight, and didn't get very far, so no patch, yet.

Reproduce code:
---------------
http://livedocs.phpdoc.info/ref.regex

Expected result:
----------------
<ulink url="http://www.tin.org/bin/man.cgi?section=7&topic=regex">

Actual result:
--------------
<ulink url="http://www.tin.org/bin/man.cgi?section=7<phpdoc_include ref="amp"/>topic=regex">

That should be fixed with one of my patches: http://livedocs.aborla.net/patch.php?id=entities

Confirmed that this patch fixes this problem.

Could someone with the necessary karma please patch & commit?

Thanks,

I applied the patch and with French doc there are a lot of accents... (? ? ...)
I got only a Warning (the page is displayed but crash only at the special character) :

XML: 1:33 Invalid character Line: 1 is <div><div class="function_link"><function>pg_affected_rows</function> - Retourne le nombre de lignes affect?es</div>

<div><div class="function_link"><function>pg_affected_rows</function> - Retourne le nombre de lignes affect?es</div>
<div class="function_link"><function>pg_cancel_query</function> - Annule une requ?te asynchrone</div>
...


It seems that it is only for displaying functions at the end of a reference.xml file
Example : fr/ref.pgsql.html

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

I have still the same errors... Do I have to apply the patch again ?
 [2005-06-21 04:01 UTC] iliaa@php.net 
The parser expects charset of the XML files to be UTF-8, for the French translation it is ISO-8859-1. To solve many of the errors in parsing, modify mkindex.php and change 
xml_parser_create("UTF-8");
to
xml_parser_create("ISO-8859-1");

This is not a livedocs bug, as the input should technically be UTF-8.
