Problems parsing Facebook atom feed using PHP

I have problems parsing a atom facebook feed.

Using:

PHP's DOMDocument.

Errors:

Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): xmlParseEntityRef: no name in Entity, line: 12 Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): xmlParseEntityRef: no name in Entity, line: 12 Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): Entity 'euro' not defined in Entity, line: 16 Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): Entity 'acute' not defined in Entity, line: 16 Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): Entity 'euro' not defined in Entity, line: 16 Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): Entity 'acute' not defined in Entity, line: 16 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in ... on line 76

Unfortunately, the entities mentioned above cannot be found in feed code. Not that simple... The problem has to be something different. Other feeds can be parsed using the same code without any problems. So, I think the problem is something in Facebook's HTML inside the content tag. What could this be? How to solve?

    <content type="html">&lt;div class=&quot;ext_media clearfix has_extra has_thumb&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;title&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPq58p0K6DM&amp;feature=youtu.be&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; title=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPq58p0K6DM&amp;amp;feature=youtu.be&quot; onmousedown=&quot;UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this), &quot;-AQBiGfHA&quot;, event, bagof(null));&quot;&gt;Did you know there were this many satellites in orbit VIDEO&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;url&quot;&gt;Quelle: www.youtube.com&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;story_posted_item clearfix&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;extra&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;share_thumb&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPq58p0K6DM&amp;feature=youtu.be&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; onmousedown=&quot;UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this), &quot;2AQBCjOTV&quot;, event, bagof(null));&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;img_loading img&quot; src=&quot;http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/BPq58p0K6DM/default.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; onload=&quot;var img = this; onloadRegister(function() { adjustImage(img); });&quot; id=&quot;share_thumb_257759307568958&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content>

Facebook is sniffing user-agents, and won't give you the XML feed you see in a browser without giving one. You can handle this several ways before fetching the XML from their server:

ini_set("user_agent","my_awesome_magic_user_agent_which_can_be_anyhing");

Or:

stream_context_set_default(
     array(
        "http"=>array(
           "user_agent"=>"whatever"  
         )
     ));

Next time, you might want to echo your XML string to see what is really going on....
