New Comment:
Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.
Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Description:
------------
When simplexml_load_string fails loading xml it returns FALSE.
An error message should be available via error_get_last. This is not
the case when certain encoding errors are encountered.
Reproduce code:
---------------
I'm using this code to gracefully fall back on encoding errors:
$xml = simplexml_load_string($data);
// character encoding warning- hack
if ($xml === false)
{
$error = error_get_last();
// this is nasty- sometimes simplexml_load_string fails but
doesn't raise an error
# if (eregi('simplexml_load_string', $error['message']))
{
$xml = simplexml_load_string(utf8_encode($data));
}
}
Expected result:
----------------
This does _sometimes_ work (i.e. call the innermost, encoded version),
but not always. For example, simplexml_load_string silently fails
without error message when processing data from amazon like this:
http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&Version=2007-12-24&Operation=ItemSearch&AssociateTag=cpuidle-20&AWSAccessKeyId=1CB01P12WQBRDNH10NR2&ItemPage=1&Keywords=Star+Wars%3A+Episode+1&;
Actual result:
--------------
simplexml_load_string returns FALSE, but does not return error message.
