xml_parser_free - Free an XML parser
Manual
xml_parser_free(
XMLParser$parser ): bool
Note:
This function has no effect. Prior to PHP 8.0.0, this function was used to close the resource.
Frees the given XML parser.
Caution:
In addition to calling xml_parser_free when the parsing is finished, prior to PHP 8.0.0, it was necessary to also explicitly unset the reference to parser to avoid memory leaks, if the parser resource is referenced from an object, and this object references that parser resource.
Parameters
- parser
-
A reference to the XML parser to free.
Return Values
Returns true on success or false on failure.
