# xml_set_character_data_handler

(3.0.6 - 3.0.18 only, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

xml_set_character_data_handler -- set up character data handler

## Description

``int xml_set_character_data_handler` (int parser, string handler)`

Sets the character data handler function for the XML parser `parser`. `handler` is a string containing the name of a function that must exist when xml_parse() is called for `parser`.

The function named by `handler` must accept two parameters:

```handler`` (int parser, string data)`

`parser`

  The first parameter, `parser`, is a reference to the XML parser calling the handler.

`data`

  The second parameter, `data`, contains the character data as a string.

If a handler function is set to an empty string, or `FALSE`, the handler in question is disabled.

`TRUE` is returned if the handler is set up, `FALSE` if `parser` is not a parser.

There is currently no support for object/method handlers. See xml_set_object() for using the XML parser within an object.
