Hi

I'm working on a project using PHP5 and I'm using the DOM extension
quite heavily. I need to be able to store various character entities
such as $nbsp; and é Note: this is for a custom XML document, not
standard (X)HTML.

When I load my XML string into my domDocument I've been trying
variations of $doctype1 and $doctype2 below. Here is my code:

$doctype1 = <<<EODT
<!DOCTYPE page [
<!ENTITY % ISOlat1 PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin1 for XHTML//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent";>
%ISOlat1;
<!ENTITY % ISOsymbol PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Symbols for XHTML//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-symbol.ent";>
%ISOsymbol;
<!ENTITY % ISOspecial PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Special for XHTML//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-special.ent";>
%ISOspecial;
]>
EODT;

$doctype2 = '<!DOCTYPE page PUBLIC "-"
"http://gv.ca/dtd/character-entities.dtd";>';

$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'.$doctype1.
       '<page>&nbsp;</page>';
$dom = new domDocument();
$dom->loadXML($xml);
echo $dom->saveXML();


The above code works as-is and the &nbsp; is present in the huge output.
However, when I change it to use $doctype2 the &nbsp; is no longer there
and returns the warning "Entity 'nbsp' not defined in Entity, line 1".
Of course the $doctype2 string is the one I need.

What am I doing wrong? Why isn't it loading the external entities? Is
there some other way of doing this that I somehow missed? I tested the
exact same xml code using "xmllint -format -loaddtd file.xml" and it
worked fine.

Tested on Gentoo with PHP 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 with libxml 2.6.11.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
