Description

xml_set_default_handler ( XMLParser $parser , callable $handler ) : bool

Sets the default handler function for the XML parser parser.

Parameters

parser

A reference to the XML parser to set up default handler function.

handler

handler is a string containing the name of a function that must exist when xml_parse() is called for parser.

The function named by handler must accept two parameters:

handler ( XMLParser $parser , string $data )

parser

The first parameter, parser, is a reference to the XML parser calling the handler.

data

The second parameter, data, contains the character data.This may be the XML declaration, document type declaration, entities or other data for which no other handler exists.

If a handler function is set to an empty string, or FALSE, the handler in question is disabled.

Note: Instead of a function name, an

array containing an object reference and a method name can also be

supplied.
