PHP | xml_get_current_byte_index() Function

Pre-requisite: XML Basics
The xml_get_current_byte_index() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to return the byte index of an XML parser.
Syntax:
int xml_get_current_byte_index( resource $parser)
Parameters: This function accepts single parameter $xml_parser which is required. This parameter specifies the XML parser to use.
Return Values: This function returns the current byte index of specified parser on success or False on failure.
Note: This function is available for PHP 4.0.0 and newer version.
Below programs illustrate the xml_get_current_byte_index() function in PHP:
gfg.xml file (Mismatch tags):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <user> <username> user123 </username> <name> firstname lastname </name> <phone> +91-9876543210 </phone> <detail> I am John Doe. Live in Kolkata, India. </detail> </users> |
Program 1:
<?php // Invalid XML file $xml_file= 'gfg.xml'; // XML parser initialization $xml_parser = xml_parser_create(); // Opening the file in read mode $file_pointer = fopen($xml_file, 'r'); // Reading data from the file stream while ($xml_data = fread($file_pointer, 4096)) { // Parsing the data chunk if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $xml_data, feof($file_pointer))) { // Display error die( print "ERROR: " . // Error string xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)) . "<br>Error Code: " . // Error code xml_get_error_code($xml_parser) . "<br>Line: " . // Line number where the error occurred xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser) . "<br>Column: " . // Column number where the error occurred xml_get_current_column_number($xml_parser) . "<br>Byte Index: " . // Byte index where the current byte occurred xml_get_current_byte_index($xml_parser) . "<br>" ); } } // Free to xml parser xml_parser_free($xml_parser); ?> |
Output:
ERROR: Mismatched tag Error Code: 76 Line: 7 Column: 13 Byte Index: 208

Output:
