note 69295 added to function.dom-domdocument-loadxml

loadXml reports an error instead of throwing an exception when the xml is not well formed. This is annoying if you are trying to to loadXml() in a try...catch statement. Apparently its a feature, not a bug, because this conforms to a spefication. If you want to catch an exception instead of generating a report, you could do something like <?php function HandleXmlError($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline) { if ($errno==E_WARNING && (substr_count($errstr,"DOMDocument::loadXML()")>0)) { throw new DOMException($errstr); } else return false; } function XmlLoader($strXml) { set_error_handler('HandleXmlError'); $dom = new DOMDocument(); $dom->loadXml($strXml); restore_error_handler(); return $dom; } ?> Returning false in function HandleXmlError() causes a fallback to the default error handler. ---- Server IP: 194.246.101.61 Probable Submitter: 83.145.93.242 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dom-domdocument-loadxml.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69295 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69295/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69295/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69295/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69295/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69295/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69295/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69295 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69295 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
