actually the è not the ampersand

[jonathan <news_php@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

so, the problem isn't the ampersand but rather the è in the  
following:
<item_name>farm lettuces with reed avocado, cr&egrave;me  
fra&icirc;che, radish and cilantro</item_name>

I'm not sure how php / DOM handles these non-standard other entities.  
How would / could I escape this? do I need to convert it to something  
else to make DOM happy (say grave) and then convert it back when  
outputted? It seems like there might be a way to use  
createEntityReference but searching through google shows no examples.  
arg.....

I'm using php 5.0.3
