Complete PHP XML Reference Manual
Definition and Usage
The xml_set_processing_instruction_handler() function specifies the function to be called when the parser finds a processing instruction in an XML document.
Processing instructions are enclosed in <? and ?> delimiters and contain a target with data.
Example: In this example, the processing instruction associates a stylesheet with an XML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="default.xsl.html" type="text/xml"?>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
<?xml-stylesheet href="default.xsl.html" type="text/xml"?>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
Returns TRUE if successful, FALSE on failure.
