Description:
------------
xml_parse() function error.
This error appears every time xml_parse() function found "&"(ampersand) in xml-content.

XML file Example:
10: ...
11: <item>
12: <title>Command & Conquer: Generals</title>
13:  <txt>Command & Conquer: Generals - Game Addon</txt>
14:  <category>Games/Red Alert</category>
15: </item>
16: ...

This error will occur in line 12, if I cut '&' there then error will occur in line 13.
If I cut all '&' no errors will occur.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Standart code from PHP manual:
if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp)))
{
  die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
  xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
  xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}

Expected result:
----------------
Formated HTML text.

Actual result:
--------------
XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 12
