#34707 [WFx]: Cannot reuse XML parser, get "junk after document element" error message

ID: 34707 User updated by: apc at hotmail dot kg Reported By: apc at hotmail dot kg Status: Wont fix Bug Type: XML related Operating System: Windows XP Pro SP2 PHP Version: 4.4.0 New Comment: It's very bad for performance - creating new parser takes long time relatively to parse time... So if I have to do 10 parses I'll spend 0.05 sec creating parsers and only 0.001 sec in actual parsing. Also - for what I have ability to create and destroy parsers without reusing created?.. And, at last - no single note about "You cannot use parser twice!" Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-03 08:46:30] chregu@php.net Simply, you can't use the same parser twice... Just make a new one for the second parsing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-10-02 16:58:43] apc at hotmail dot kg Description: ------------ When I try to parse XML into struct twice using the same parser - second attempt fails.
