XML External Entity Example
This example highlights XML code. It illustrates how to use an external entity reference handler to include and parse other documents, as well as how PIs can be processed, and a way of determining "trust" for PIs containing code.
XML documents that can be used for this example are found below the example (xmltest.xml and xmltest2.xml.)
Example #1 External Entity Example
<?php
$file = "xmltest.xml";
function trustedFile($file)
{
// only trust local files owned by ourselves
if (!preg_match("@^([a-z][a-z0-9+.-]*)\:\/\/@i", $file)
&& fileowner($file) == getmyuid()) {
return true;
}
return false;
}

{
echo "<<font color=\"#0000cc\">$name</font>";
if (count($attribs)) {
foreach ($attribs as $k => $v) {
echo " <font color=\"#009900\">$k</font>=\"<font
color=\"#990000\">$v</font>\"";
}
}
echo ">";
}
function endElement($parser, $name)
{
echo "</<font color=\"#0000cc\">$name</font>>";
}
function characterData($parser, $data)
{
echo "<b>$data</b>";
}
function PIHandler($parser, $target, $data)
{
switch (strtolower($target)) {
case "php":
global $parser_file;
// If the parsed document is "trusted", we say it is safe
// to execute PHP code inside it. If not, display the code
// instead.

htmlspecialchars($data));
