xml_parser_free

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

xml_parser_free — Free an XML parser

Description

xml_parser_free(XMLParser $parser): bool

Note:
This function has no effect. Prior to PHP 8.0.0, this function was used to close the resource.

Frees the given XML parser.

Caution

In addition to calling xml_parser_free() when the parsing is finished, prior to PHP 8.0.0, it was necessary to also explicitly unset the reference to parser to avoid memory leaks, if the parser resource is referenced from an object, and this object references that parser resource.

Parameters

parser: A reference to the XML parser to free.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.0.0	`parser` expects an XMLParser instance now; previously, a valid `xml` resource was expected.
