PHP: DOMDocument loadHTML returns error with nesty URL in href

Recently I get an exception while I try to implement a special template engine.

Mine problem with DOMDocument load is in fact that I use some place holders in href and it will be replaced after with real values. I want to store that template and to use it each time when I need it, here is code sample 

    $this->dom = new DOMDocument;
    $load_html = $this->dom->loadHTML($html);

And nesty part of HTML looks like

<a href="@_@web_site_address@_@">Visit our web site</a>

and exception is

Fatal error: DOMDocument::loadXML() [<a href='domdocument.loadxml'>domdocument.loadxml</a>]: EntityRef: expecting ';' in Entity

I was try to find a some way to skip that check but couldn't find anything.

I found what was the problem. In my URL it was & sign, I was replace it with &amp; and now it works.

This causes no error in PHP 5.3. You must have some other HTML that is causing this. Normally you see this when you use an entity with no ; after it.

<a href="#">Foo &nbsp Bar</a>

That throws that same error for me. Look for some entity without a ; on it. Browsers will render that, but it is not correct.
