Synopsis

require_once '/XMLParser.php';

string PEAR_XMLParser::preProcessStupidSaxon ( string $data )

Description

This prevents saxon in PHP 4 and PHP 5 from choking on non-ISO-8859-1 characters.

Parameter

string $data: The xml data.

Throws

throws no exceptions thrown

This function can not be called statically.
