Re: libxml returns codes and xmlreader

Of course it is an extra step both ways. But using libxml_get_errors() forces me to use libxml_use_internal_errors and libxml_clear_errors afterwards. Until xmlreader throws exceptions on errors it is not modeled after the .NET XMLReader, because that part is really missing. So the argument chain is somehow broken here :) Is it possible to reopen my bug and change it to a feature request or do I have to resubmit my thoughts? Greetings, Nico
