xml_parser_free — Free an XML parser
xml_parser_free ( XMLParser $parser ) : bool
Frees the given XML parser.
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.
parser
Returns true on success or false on failure.
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.0.0 | parser expects an XMLParser instance now; previously, a resource was expected. |
