libxml_get_errors -- Retrieve array of errors

## Description

array libxml_get_errors ( void )

Retrieve array of errors.

## Return Values

Returns an array with LibXMLError objects if there are any errors in the buffer, or an empty array otherwise.

## Examples

Example 1. A libxml_get_errors() example This example demonstrates how to build a simple libxml error handler.
`<?php libxml_use_internal_errors(true); $xmlstr = <<< XML <?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?> <movies> <movie> <titles>PHP: Behind the Parser</title> </movie> </movies> XML; $doc = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr); $xml = explode("\n", $xmlstr); if (!$doc) { $errors = libxml_get_errors(); foreach ($errors as $error) { echo display_xml_error($error, $xml); } libxml_clear_errors(); } function display_xml_error($error, $xml) { $return = $xml[$error->line - 1] . "\n"; $return .= str_repeat('-', $error->column) . "^\n"; switch ($error->level) { case LIBXML_ERR_WARNING: $return .= "Warning $error->code: "; break; case LIBXML_ERR_ERROR: $return .= "Error $error->code: "; break; case LIBXML_ERR_FATAL: $return .= "Fatal Error $error->code: "; break; } $return .= trim($error->message) . "\n Line: $error->line" . "\n Column: $error->column"; if ($error->file) { $return .= "\n File: $error->file"; } return "$return\n\n--------------------------------------------\n\n"; } ?>`
The above example will output:
    <titles>PHP: Behind the Parser</title>
    ^
    Fatal Error 76: Opening and ending tag mismatch: titles line 4 and title
      Line: 4
      Column: 0
