Description:
------------
Adding illegal characters to a text node when saved as XML are not
either converted to NCRs, or stripped. This breaks the XML, causing it
to be "not well-formed" when viewed by standards-compliant browsers,
like Firefox.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
header ('Content-Type: text/xml');
$document = new DOMDocument ('1.0', 'utf-8');
$element = $document -> createElement ('element');
$text = $document -> createTextNode (''); // Please copy and paste
this line directly; it contains special characters that may not display
correctly; and are invalid in XML based on the W3C specification.
$element -> appendChild ($text);
$document -> appendChild ($element);
echo $document -> saveXML ( );
Expected result:
----------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<element/>
Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<element></element>
