The function named by start_element_handler
must accept three parameters:
$parser
, string $name
, array $attribs
)parser
name
name
, contains the name of the element for which this handler is called.If case-folding is in effect for this parser, the element name will be in uppercase letters. attribs
attribs
, contains an associative array with the element's attributes (if any).The keys of this array are the attribute names, the values are the attribute values.Attribute names are case-folded on the same criteria as element names.Attribute values are not case-folded. The original order of the attributes can be retrieved by walking through attribs
the normal way, using each().The first key in the array was the first attribute, and so on. Note: Instead of a function name, an array containing an object reference and a method name can also be supplied.
end_element_handler
The function named by end_element_handler
must accept two parameters:
$parser
, string $name
)parser
name
name
, contains the name of the element for which this handler is called.If case-folding is in effect for this parser, the element name will be in uppercase letters. If a handler function is set to an empty string, or FALSE
, the handler in question is disabled.
Returns TRUE
on success or FALSE
on failure.
