### Examples

Example #1 A libxml_get_errors() example

This example demonstrates how to build a simple libxml error handler.

    <?phplibxml_use_internal_errors(true);$xmlstr = <<< XML<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?><movies> <movie>  <titles>PHP: Behind the Parser</title> </movie></movies>XML;$doc = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr);$xml = explode("\n", $xmlstr);if ($doc === false) {    $errors = libxml_get_errors();    foreach ($errors as $error) {        echo display_xml_error($error, $xml);    }    libxml_clear_errors();}function display_xml_error($error, $xml){    $return  = $xml[$error->line - 1] . "\n";    $return .= str_repeat('-', $error->column) . "^\n";    switch ($error->level) {        case LIBXML_ERR_WARNING:            $return .= "Warning $error->code: ";            break;         case LIBXML_ERR_ERROR:            $return .= "Error $error->code: ";            break;        case LIBXML_ERR_FATAL:            $return .= "Fatal Error $error->code: ";            break;    }    $return .= trim($error->message) .               "\n  Line: $error->line" .               "\n  Column: $error->column";    if ($error->file) {        $return .= "\n  File: $error->file";    }    return "$return\n\n--------------------------------------------\n\n";}?>

The above example will output:

      <titles>PHP: Behind the Parser</title>
    ----------------------------------------------^
    Fatal Error 76: Opening and ending tag mismatch: titles line 4 and title
      Line: 4
      Column: 46

    --------------------------------------------
