Description:
------------
When assigning multiple times to ane variable an object which contains a XML parser, there is a problem when the xml_parse is called. The parser can not call the registered handlers.
The problem can be avoided if the variable is unset before the second call, or using $doc1 =& new xml_doc() for every assignment.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
class xml_doc
{
function xml_doc()
	{
	$this->res = xml_parser_create_ns();
	xml_set_object($this->res,$this);
	xml_set_element_handler($this->res,'start_element','end_element');
	}
	
function load_string($string)
	{
	xml_parse($this->res,$string);
	}
	
function start_element()
	{
	}
	
function end_element()
	{
	}
}

$str = '<?xml version="1" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><root></root>';
$doc1 = new xml_doc();
$doc1->load_string($str);
//unset($doc1);//this solves the problem
//or using $doc1 =& new xml_doc(); in every assignment
$doc1 = new xml_doc();
$doc1->load_string($str);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Nothing really... it is too simple to do real parsing.

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: xml_parse() [function.xml-parse.html]: Unable to call handler start_element() in file.php on line 13

Warning: xml_parse() [function.xml-parse.html]: Unable to call handler end_element() in file.php on line 13

This can be reproduced useing the example from xml_set_object() function reference found here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.xml-set-object.php

Here is the exact reproduce code:
-------------------------------------
<?php
class xml  {
   var $parser;

   function xml()
   {
       $this->parser = xml_parser_create();

       xml_set_object($this->parser, $this);
       xml_set_element_handler($this->parser, "tag_open", "tag_close");
       xml_set_character_data_handler($this->parser, "cdata");
   }

   function parse($data)
   {
       xml_parse($this->parser, $data);
   }

   function tag_open($parser, $tag, $attributes)
   {
       var_dump($parser, $tag, $attributes);
   }

   function cdata($parser, $cdata)
   {
       var_dump($parser, $cdata);
   }

   function tag_close($parser, $tag)
   {
       var_dump($parser, $tag);
   }

} // end of class xml

$xml_parser = new xml();
$xml_parser->parse("<A ID='hallo'>PHP</A>");

$xml_parser = new xml();
$xml_parser->parse("<A ID='hallo'>PHP</A>");
?>
-------------------------------------

The only modification in comparison with the given example in the manual is the second assignment of $xml_parser to a new object.

The result is:
-------------------------------------
resource(2) of type (xml) string(1) "A" array(1) { ["ID"]=>  string(5) "hallo" } resource(2) of type (xml) string(3) "PHP" resource(2) of type (xml) string(1) "A"

Warning: xml_parse() [function.xml-parse.html]: Unable to call handler cdata() in /home/local/dev.kenashkov.com/XPATS/bug_test/t4.php on line 16

Warning: xml_parse() [function.xml-parse.html]: Unable to call handler tag_close() in /home/local/dev.kenashkov.com/XPATS/bug_test/t4.php on line 16
-------------------------------------

It works as expected in PHP 5.1.4

The code produces the bug in PHP 4.4.2 with the following cofigure line:

We are sorry, but we can not support PHP 4 related problems anymore.
Momentum is gathering for PHP 6, and we think supporting PHP 4 will
lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 6
ready.
