Description:
------------
When parsing XML, PHP has no way to set a handler for general entities, though a 
handler can be set for unparsed entities.

Expat has deprecated the XML_SetUnparsedEntityDeclHandler in favor of 
XML_SetEntityDeclHandler, which is called for all entity types (including general 
and unparsed).

http://expat.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/expat/expat/lib/expat.h?
revision=1.80&view=markup#l_311

PHP should add the xml_set_entity_decl_handler function to allow handling of all 
entity declarations.


Test script:
---------------
$data = '<!DOCTYPE test [<!ENTITY generalEntity "General Entity">]><test>&generalEntity;</test>';

function h_entity_decl($parser,$entity_name,$is_parameter_entity,$value,$base,$system_id,$public_id,$notation_name) {
	echo "$entity_name - $is_parameter_entity - $value";
};

$parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_set_entity_decl_handler($parser, 'h_entity_decl');

xml_parse($parser,$data,false) or 
    die (sprintf("XML Error: %s at line %d<br>\n", 
				 xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($parser)),
				 xml_get_current_line_number($parser)));
xml_parser_free($parser);


Expected result:
----------------
It should run with the following output:

generalEntity - 0 - General Entity


Actual result:
--------------
Fatal Error: Call to undefined function xml_set_entity_decl_handler()

I've added a patch for this but I'd like to write a few more tests before committing it. If you could apply it and let me know if this helps you that'd be 
nice.

Just fell for this trap by myself.
Internal entity declarations are not handled, and fall into default handler or produce errors altogether, depends on your parser setup.

David, instead of adding "xml_set_entity_decl_handler" as a new function, how about making it an alias to xml_set_unparsed_entity_decl_handler (or, more precisely, the other way around), and call xml_set_entity_decl_handler() with $system_id set to entity value for internal entities?
