Bug description:  "Amélie" turns into "Amélie" after simplexml_load_file()

Description:
------------
Example XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?> 
<Collection> 
<DVD> 
  ...
  <Title> Am&#233;lie</Title>
  ...
</DVD> 
</Collection> 

This is referring the movie "Amelie", and &#233 should turn into an
accented 'e' (é), but instead it gets processed as "Amélie".

Reproduce code:
---------------
$Collection = simplexml_load_file($filename);
echo htmlentities((string) $Collection-> DVD->Title); // Produces
"Am&Atilde;&copy;lie"

Expected result:
----------------
Preserve the &#233; in the title.

Actual result:
--------------
Changes &#233; to é
