    Examples

    Example #1 xml_set_object() example

    <?phpclass CustomXMLParser{    private $parser;    function __construct()     {        $this->parser = xml_parser_create();        xml_set_object($this->parser, $this);        xml_set_element_handler($this->parser, "tag_open", "tag_close");        xml_set_character_data_handler($this->parser, "cdata");    }    function parse($data)     {        xml_parse($this->parser, $data);    }    function tag_open($parser, $tag, $attributes)     {        var_dump($tag, $attributes);     }    function cdata($parser, $cdata)     {        var_dump($cdata);    }    function tag_close($parser, $tag)     {        var_dump($tag);    }}$xml_parser = new CustomXMLParser();$xml_parser->parse("<A ID='hallo'>PHP</A>");?>

    The above example will output:

    string(1) "A"
array(1) {
  ["ID"]=>
  string(5) "hallo"
}
string(3) "PHP"
string(1) "A"
