Well, as a matter of fact I do. My code is pretty straightforward. I declare the
handlers:
if(!($xml_parser=xml_parser_create())){
printError("failed to create xml parser");
}
if(!xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElementHandler", "endElementHandler")){
printError("failed to set element handlers");
}
if(!xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser,"charDataHandler")){
printError("failed to set character data handler");
}
And then I parse looking out for any errors:
if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $xmlstring)){
printError(sprintf("XML:
%s",xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser))));
return false;
}
I don't get any error. I get the $xmlstring from a database and I have verified that
I'm getting the 1-line pure text ("the quick brown fox chocked") just fine. But when
parsed, a call to charDataHandler() is never made :-(
Is it a bug or am I missing something obvious? Dan, did you actually run this and got
an error?
TIA,
