(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

xml_set_object — Use XML Parser within an object

Warning

This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 8.4.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.

Description

#[\Deprecated]
xml_set_object(XMLParser $parser, object $object): true

This function allows to use parser inside object. All callback functions could be set with xml_set_element_handler() etc and assumed to be methods of object.

Parameters

parser: A reference to the XML parser to use inside the object.
object: The object where to use the XML parser.

Return Values

Always returns true.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.4.0	This function is now deprecated, instead pass proper callable values to xml_set_()
8.0.0	`parser` expects an XMLParser instance now; previously, a valid `xml` resource was expected.

Examples

Example #1 xml_set_object() example

<?php
class CustomXMLParser
{
private $parser;

function __construct()
{
$this->parser = xml_parser_create();

xml_set_object($this->parser, $this);
xml_set_element_handler($this->parser, "tag_open", "tag_close");
xml_set_character_data_handler($this->parser, "cdata");
}

function parse($data)
{
xml_parse($this->parser, $data);
}

function tag_open($parser, $tag, $attributes)
{
var_dump($tag, $attributes);
}

function cdata($parser, $cdata)
{
var_dump($cdata);
}

function tag_close($parser, $tag)
{
var_dump($tag);
}
}

$xml_parser = new CustomXMLParser();
$xml_parser->parse("<A ID='hallo'>PHP</A>");
?>

The above example will output:

string(1) "A"
array(1) {
  ["ID"]=>
  string(5) "hallo"
}
string(3) "PHP"
string(1) "A"
