(PHP 3 >= 3.0.6, PHP 4, PHP 5)
xml_parser_create -- Create an XML parser
Description
resource
xml_parser_create ( [string encoding] )
xml_parser_create() creates a new XML parser
and returns a resource handle referencing it to be used by the
other XML functions.
The optional encoding specifies the character
encoding for the input/output in PHP 4. Starting from PHP 5, the input
encoding is automatically detected, so that the
encoding parameter specifies only the output
encoding. In PHP 4, the default output encoding is the same as the
input charset. If empty string is passed, the parser attempts to identify
which encoding the document is encoded in by looking at the heading 3 or
4 bytes. In PHP 5.0.0 and 5.0.1, the default output charset is
ISO-8859-1, while in PHP 5.0.2 and upper is UTF-8. The supported
encodings are ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 and
US-ASCII.
