mixed isValidName(
string
$string)

check, whether string is valid XML name

XML names are used for tagname, attribute names and various other, lesser known entities.

An XML name may only consist of alphanumeric characters, dashes, undescores and periods, and has to start with a letter or an underscore.

 require_once 'XML/Util.php';

 
 // verify tag name
 $result = XML_Util::isValidName("invalidTag?");
 if (XML_Util::isError($result)) {
    print "Invalid XML name: " . $result->getMessage();
 }

Return: true, if string is a valid XML name, PEAR error otherwise
Todo: support for other charsets
Access: public

Parameters:

string $string — string that should be checked

 array(
       "namespace" => "xslt",
       "localPart" => "stylesheet"
      );

Return: array containing namespace and local part
