Description:
------------
Assuming #26528 is also valid for the actual character data (as claimed in http://forum.alicebot.org/viewtopic.php?t=69), then the parser should decode <this>&lt;that&gt;</this> into:
[name] => this
[value] => <that>
The problem is in some cases it stays as:
[name] => this
[value] => &lt;that&gt;

In my 2 unrelated servers, the decoding works in v5.2.6 but fails in v5.2.14.

Please check in newer versions, if you can!

As for the "(as claimed in)" comment, you can delete it. They actually claim you should use straight up HTML without escaping it. Problem is the parser then treats the HTML tags like XML ones. If you have a solution for that one, please post it there.

Sorry, here's a fixed description. <this>&lt;that&gt;tag&lt;that/&gt;</this> should turn into:
[name] => this
[value] => <that>tag</that>
But in some cases it turns into:
[name] => this
[value] => tag/

That is, it's not even kept. It's just deleted!

Sorry, you can delete this bug. The fixed description made me realize it's a duplicate of #45996.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

dupe of bug #45996
