Parameters

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:

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.

Return Values
