xml_parser_get_option — Get options from an XML parser

function xml_parser_get_option(XMLParser $parser, int $option): string|int|bool

Gets an option value from an XML parser.

parser: A reference to the XML parser to get an option from.
option: Which option to fetch. XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, XML_OPTION_PARSE_HUGE, XML_OPTION_SKIP_TAGSTART, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE and XML_OPTION_TARGET_ENCODING are available. See xml_parser_set_option() for their description.

Returns the option's value.

Throws a ValueError when an invalid value is passed to option.

Prior to PHP 8.0.0, passing an invalid value to option generated a E_WARNING as well as making the function return false.
