xml_parser_create

resource xml_parser_create ([ string $encoding ] )

Create an XML parser

xml_parser_create() creates a new XML parser and returns a resource handle referencing it to be used by the other XML functions.


I created a function, which combines xml_paresr_create and all functions around.



<?php

function html_parse($file)

     {

      $array = str_split($file, 1);

      $count = false;

      $text = "";

      $end = false;

      foreach($array as $temp)

       {

        switch($temp)

         {

          case "<":

           between($text);

           $text = "";

           $count = true;

           $end = false;

           break;

          case ">":

           if($end == true) {end_tag($text);}

           else {start_tag($text);}

           $text = "";

           break;

          case "/":

           if($count == true) {$end = true;}

           else {$text = $text . "/";}

           break;

          default:

           $count = false;

           $text = $text . $temp;

         }

       }

     }

?>

The input value is a string.

It calls functions start_tag() , between() and end_tag() just like the original xml parser.



But it has a few differences:

  - It does NOT check the code. Just resends values to that three functions, no matter, if they are right

  - It works with parameters. For example: from tag <sth b="42"> sends sth b="42"

  - It works wit diacritics. The original parser sometimes wrapped the text before the first diacritics appearance.

  - Works with all encoding. If the input is UTF-8, the output will be UTF-8 too

  - It works with strings. Not with file pointers.

  - No "Reserved XML name" error

  - No doctype needed

  - It does not work with commentaries, notes, programming instructions etc. Just the tags



definition of the handling functions is:



<?php

function between($stuff) {}

?>
