Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-03-14 17:45:41] cmb@php.net This part of the documentation refers to libexpat based ext/xml. For libxml2 based ext/xml, the external entity reference handler is effectively a void function. Not sure, whether libexpat's behavior could be implemented with libxml2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-02-15 01:39:53] anrdaemon at freemail dot ru Description: ------------ Despite documentation[1] explicitly stating that "If the value returned from the handler is FALSE (which it will be if no value is returned), the XML parser will stop parsing and xml_get_error_code() will return XML_ERROR_EXTERNAL_ENTITY_HANDLING.", the output of the attached test script will always be "No error". phpinfo() PHP Version => 5.6.18 xml XML Support => active XML Namespace Support => active libxml2 Version => 2.9.3 [1]http://php.net/xml_set_external_entity_ref_handler Test script: --------------- <?php $parser = xml_parser_create_ns('UTF-8'); xml_set_external_entity_ref_handler($parser, function($self, $names, $base, $system_id, $public_id) { print "@{$names}: '{$system_id}' {$public_id}\n"; /* Ref: http://php.net/xml_set_external_entity_ref_handler If the value returned from the handler is FALSE (which it will be if no value is returned), the XML parser will stop parsing and xml_get_error_code() will return XML_ERROR_EXTERNAL_ENTITY_HANDLING. */ return false; } ); xml_parse($parser, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE p [ <!ENTITY pic PUBLIC "image.gif" "http://example.org/image.gif"> ]> <p>&pic;</p>'); print xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($parser)) .
