I am working on an XML parser and trying to learn about them. All the
scripts I get from the net in various tutorials and such all return
nothing but "XML error: syntax error at line 1". I checked the
variables with PHPINFO() and it says that XML support is on. I also
know that keeping the PHP up to date is not a priority around here as we
are still on PHP3. Any thoughts on what this might be? Is the server
jsut showing it's need for an update again?

here is one example of the code I am using:
$xml_file = "data.xml";
echo "<table border=0 cellpadding=5>";
echo "<tr><th colspan=2>XML Articles</th></tr>";
function startElement($parser_instance, $element_name, $attrs) {
switch($element_name) {
case "URL" : echo "<tr><td><a href=\"";
break;
case "SUMMARY" : echo "<td>";
break;
}
}
function characterData($parser_instance, $xml_data) {
echo $xml_data;
}
function endElement($parser_instance, $element_name) {
switch($element_name) {
case "URL" : echo "\">";
break;
case "TITLE" : echo "</a></td>";
break;
case "SUMMARY" : echo "</td></tr>";
break;
}
}
$parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($parser, "startElement", "endElement");
xml_set_character_data_handler($parser, "characterData");
if (!($filehandler = fopen($xml_file, "r"))) {
die("could not open XML input");
}
while ($data = fread($filehandler, 4096)) {
if (!xml_parse($parser, $data, feof($filehandler))) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($parser)));
}
}
fclose($filehandler);
xml_parser_free($parser);
echo "</table>";
