Description:
------------
When a copyright character (ascii 169) is present in a string that is added as a text node to the DOM structure, the element is always empty.  The correct behavior is to encode the character as "©".

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0');
$t = $doc->appendChild($doc->createElement('test'));
$t->appendChild($doc->createTextNode('&' . chr(169) . '<'));

header('Content-type: text/xml');
echo $doc->saveXML();
?>


Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>&amp;&copy;&lt;</test>

Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test></test>

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

utf8 encode the character. And no it wont output &copy; thats an HTML entity.

Thank you.  That fixed the problem I was having.  I do apologize for having skipped over the user contributed notes, but I did try other encoding functions (just not utf8_encode()).  It is also strange that I did not get any warnings or errors as reported in the user notes (error reporting set at E_ALL).

Thanks again.
