New Comment:
OK 'libxml_use_internal_errors' can also be used
but the last reported error is unhelpful anyhow

Description:
------------
On loading an invalid xml catched errors using error_get_last aren't
helpful because the message is nearly empty "simplexml_load_string():
^"
It looks like there are more errors reported and the last error is the
most unhelpful error but this is the only good catchable error (see
example).
A workaround only exists using an own error handler but it's nasty :(
Test script:
---------------
$xml = <<<XML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<a>test</a>
</other>
XML;
echo 'LOAD INVALID XML STRING' . PHP_EOL;
$simpleXML = simplexml_load_string($xml);
echo 'DETECTED ERROR:' . PHP_EOL;
if ($simpleXML === false) {
$err = error_get_last();
var_dump($err);
}
Expected result:
----------------
LOAD INVALID XML STRING
PHP Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 4: parser error :
Opening and ending tag mismatch: config line 2 and other in
/tmp/bug_simpleXmlLoad.php on line 11
Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 4: parser error : Opening

/tmp/bug_simpleXmlLoad.php on line 11
DETECTED ERROR:

["message"]=>

Opening and ending tag mismatch: config line 2 and other"
["file"]=>
string(26) "/tmp/bug_simpleXmlLoad.php"
["line"]=>
int(11)
}
Actual result:
--------------
