The approach with CDATA usage must not cause problem becuase of & character.
The problem may be caused by some other issue, usage of different encoding for example
If problem still occurs for you - please provide exact XML data which cause issue ( you can send a snippet directly to support@dhtmlx.com )

Hi,
I had the same problem. I fixed it by using this:

$var2 = htmlspecialchars($var1, ENT_QUOTES);

to convert special characters to HTML entities of my XML file.
Of yourse this is only a solution if you are able to write your xml file by yourself using php.
But maybe it helps you a little bit.
