From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.simplexml-load-file#refsect1-
function.simplexml-load-file-examples

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$xmlstring = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<note>
<to>هومن</to>
<from>من</from>
<heading>باگ</heading>
<body>این فارسی یا عربی ساپرت نمیکنه.</body>
</note>
XML;

$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstring);

var_dump($xml);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
object(SimpleXMLElement)[1]
  public 'to' => string 'هومن' (length=16)
  public 'from' => string 'من' (length=8)
  public 'heading' => string 'باگ' (length=12)
  public 'body' => string 'این فارسی یا عربی ساپرت نمیکنه.' (length=106)

Actual result:
--------------
object(SimpleXMLElement)[1]
  public 'to' => string 'هومن' (length=16)
  public 'from' => string 'من' (length=8)
  public 'heading' => string 'باگ' (length=12)

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

ISO-8859-1 doesn't contain و and similar characters. Probably you have to set the file's encoding to utf-8.
