Description
Optional Parameter encoding In PHP 4, used to specify the character encoding of the XML input to be parsed.
Starting with PHP 5, automatic detection of the encoding of the input XML is enabled, therefore encoding The parameter is used only to specify the encoding of the output data after parsing.
In PHP 4, the default output encoding is the same as the encoding of the input data. If an empty string is passed, the parser will try to search the first 3 or 4 bytes to determine the encoding of the document.
In PHP 5.0.0 and 5.0.1, the default character encoding of the output is ISO-8859-1, while for PHP 5.0.2 and above versions, it is UTF-8.
The encodings supported by the parser are ISO-8859-1, UTF-8, and US-ASCII.
