// Invalid XML file $xml_file = ’gfg.xml’ ;
// Initialize the XML parser $xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
// Open file in read mode $file_pointer = fopen ( $xml_file , ’ r’ );
// Read data from the file stream while ( $xml_data = fread ( $file_pointer , 4096)) { // Parse the data block 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 )). "
