Parameters

encoding

The optional encoding specifies the character encoding for the input/output in PHP 4. Starting from PHP 5, the input encoding is automatically detected, so that the encoding parameter specifies only the output encoding.

The supported encodings are ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 and US-ASCII.

separator

With a namespace aware parser tag parameters passed to the various handler functions will consist of namespace and tag name separated by the string specified in seperator.

Return Values

Returns a resource handle for the new XML parser.
