Set up processing instruction (PI) handler

Description

xml_set_processing_instruction_handler(XMLParser $parser, callable|string|null $handler): true

Sets the processing instruction (PI) handler function for the XML parser parser.

A processing instruction has the following format:

xml
<?target
data
?>
Caution

PHP code is delimited by the <?php processing instruction. As such it is possible to have PHP code within an XML document. However, the PI end tag (?>) must not be part of the data. If a PI end tag exists as part of the embedded PHP code, the rest of the PHP code and the "real" PI end tag, will be treated as character data.

Parameters

handler

Description

The signature of the handler must be:

handler(XMLParser $parser, string $target, string $data): void
target

The processing instruction target.

data

The processing instruction data.
