                             array("#||\\1||#", "&", "&\\1;", "'&#'.ord('\\1').';'"),
                             $_xml);

        $_xml = ereg_replace (" & ", " &amp; ", $_xml);

        return $_xml;
    }

Inside the loop you’re reassigning $xml, not concatenating it. Use $xml .= as opposed to $xml =
