Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

Try using DOMDocument::loadHTML() instead. It doesn't choke on imperfect markup.

That leads to some funky output ( http://paste2.org/p/668291 ) not to mention I don't like the idea of parsing XML as HTML.

Answer 2

+4 A:

XHTML5 does not have a DTD, so you may not use the old-school HTML named entities in it, as there is no document type definition to tell the parser what the named entities are for this language. (Except for the predefined XML entities <, &, " and >... and ', though you generally don't want to use that).

Instead use a numeric character reference (©) or, better, just a plain unencoded © character (in UTF-8; remember to include the <meta> element to signify the character set to non-XML parsers).

After some searching around this does indeed appear to be the case. Seems odd but thank you very much for the information.

+1 Wow, HTML 5 doesn’t have a DTD? Didn’t know that.

Answer 3

A:

You shouldn't use loadXML and saveXML and add at the top of a html document the tag

<?xml.

Instead that use loadHTML and saveHTML and add a

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
