Description:
------------
I'm getting the following error:

XML error: XML declaration not finished at line 1

Here is the xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>
<note>
        <to>Tove</to>
        <from>Jani</from>
        <heading>Reminder</heading>
        <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

However, if I remove line one completely the code works but I can't have any reference to <?xml .... ?>.

Reproduce code:
---------------
I took this code from the php.net xml examples. Everyghing works OK in php4 but not php5.

Here is the test program:

<?php
$file = "test.xml";
$depth = array();

function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) 
{
    global $depth;
    for ($i = 0; $i < $depth[$parser]; $i++) {
        echo "  ";
    }
    echo "$name\n";
    $depth[$parser]++;
}

function endElement($parser, $name) 
{
    global $depth;
    $depth[$parser]--;
}

$xml_parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElement", "endElement");
if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r"))) {
    die("could not open XML input");
}

while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
    if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) {
        die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
                    xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
                    xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
    }
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
?> 


Expected result:
----------------
NOTE
  TO
  FROM
  HEADING
  BODY


This was run with the above code without the <?xml ... ?> line.

Actual result:
--------------
XML error: XML declaration not finished at line 1

Run with the same code with the <?xml ... ?> line.

Try updating libxml2. I cant reproduce this (testing with 2.6.26 and higher).
 [2007-06-21 20:57 UTC] dgrimes at scvl dot com 
I loaded latest of both libxml2 (2.6.29) and libxslt (1.1.20) and I still have the same problem. Should I be contacting the developers of those libraries rather than you? If you're thinking the problem is with libxml2 then perhaps the problem is not with PHP at all.

Thanks,
Dean

Yes, the problem is definitely related to libxml2, not PHP.
