Description:
------------
Hi

On the page describing the xml_parser_get_option function there is a typo in the documentation.

Its the line reading:
'This function returns FALSE if parser does not refer to a valid parser, or if the option could not be set. Else the option's value is returned.'

The typo is this part:  'or if the option could not be set.'  I don't assume that a *get_option function actually sets an option :-)


Expected result:
----------------
I don't know if the code returns false if the option isn't set or doesn't exists.

Direct link to the page in the online documentation:

Although I was able to find this "typo" in the documentation, I have some doubts it is a typo.

If you submit a bogus 'option' to xml_parser_get_option() it might return FALSE if that option isn't really an option. For example:

$x = xml_parser_get_option($xml, 135971923752512);

May return FALSE because there is no option that *can be set* by that number.

Just a thought.

It also generates a Warning, but it still might return FALSE.

I just tried:

echo xml_parser_get_option($xml, 1241243243)."<BR>";

but it doesn't print anything at all.

It should only print <br> if the function returns false, so I would not be surprised...

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
