This function returns a resource handle to be used by other XML functions on success, or FALSE on failure.

encoding Optional. Specifies the output encoding. Default in PHP 5.0.2 and newer is UTF-8

Possible values:

  • ISO-8859-1

Note: In PHP 5, the input encoding is automatically detected. In PHP 4 and older versions, this paramterer specifies the character encoding for the input and output.
