Example #1 A libxml_use_internal_errors() example
This example demonstrates the basic usage of libxml errors and the value returned by this function.
<?php
// enable user error handling
var_dump(libxml_use_internal_errors(true));
// load the document
$doc = new DOMDocument;
if (!$doc->load('file.xml')) {
foreach (libxml_get_errors() as $error) {
// handle errors here
}
libxml_clear_errors();
}
?>
The above example will output:
bool(false)

When using libxml_use_internal_errors(true), and perform a possibly memory intensive operation like simplexml_load_string() next, you might end up with a blank screen and no php error logged because the error message been suppressed.
We use a custom error handler using set_error_handler() I found that after I call
libxml_use_internal_errors(false);
It resets my error_handler - not sure if this is a bug or not, I will report it as a bug - however, I needed to repeat my call to set_error_handler
(did confuse me for a while)
