Description

bool xml_set_character_data_handler ( resource parser, callback handler)

The function named by handler must accept two parameters: handler ( resource parser, string data)

The first parameter, parser, is a reference to the XML parser calling the handler.

data

The second parameter, data, contains the character data as a string.

If a handler function is set to an empty string, or FALSE, the handler in question is disabled.
