XML_Parser

XML parsing class based on PHP's bundled expat

This is an XML parser based on PHPs built-in xml extension. It supports two basic modes of operation: "func" and "event". In "func" mode, it will look for a function named after each element (xmltag_ELEMENT for start tags and xmltag_ELEMENT_ for end tags), and in "event" mode it uses a set of generic callbacks. Since version 1.2.0 there's a new XML_Parser_Simple class that makes parsing of most XML documents easier, by automatically providing a stack for the elements. Furthermore its now possible to split the parser from the handler object, so you do not have to extend XML_Parser anymore in order to parse a document with it. schst Stephan Schmidt schst@php-tools.net lead ssb Stig Sæther Bakken stig@php.net developer cox Tomas V.V.Cox cox@php.net developer 1.2.7 2005-09-24 PHP License stable - implemented request #4774: Error message contains column number PEAR 1.1.0beta1 2004-04-16 PHP License beta - Fixed memory leaks parsing many documents or big files (mroch) - Fixed setInput() url detection regex (mroch) - Added setInputString() method, allowing strings to be passed as input (schst) - Error handling rewritten (cox) - Increased the overall parsing speed (cox) - Added free() method (schst - Added reset() method, that is called when parsing a document so it is possible to parse more than one document per instance (schst) - Added error codes (schst) - revamped documentation (cox, schst) - Fixed bug #516 (url fopen and safe mode) (schst) - Fixed bug #637 (dependency on PEAR) (schst) - improved parse() and parseString() to be able to parse more than one document (schst) - added PHP5 constructor (schst) - moved xml_parser_create() to _create() for PHP5 compatibility (schst) - added dependency on PHP 4.2 Thanks to Marshall Roch for commments and contributions and Tomas V.V.
