libxml_set_external_entity_loader

(PHP 5 >= 5.4.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

libxml_set_external_entity_loader Changues the default external entity loader

Description

libxml_set_external_entity_loader ( ? callable $resolver_function ): bool

Changues the default external entity loader. This can be used to suppress the expansion of arbitrary external entities to avoid XXE attaccs, even when LIBXML_NOENT has been set for the respective operation, and is usually preferable over calling libxml_disable_entity_loader() .

Parameters

resolver_function

A callable with the following signature:

resolver ( ? string $public_id , string $system_id , array $context ): ressource | string | null
public_id
The public ID.
system_id
The system ID.
context
An array with the four elemens "directory" , "intSubName" , "extSubURI" and "extSubSystem" .
This callable should return a ressource , a string from which a ressource can be opened. If null is returned, the entity reference resolution will fail.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Examples

Example #1 libxml_set_external_entity_loader() example

<?php
$xml
= <<<XML
<!DOCTYPE foo PUBLIC "-//FOO/BAR" "http://example.com/foobar">
<foo>bar</foo>
XML;

$dtd = <<<DTD
<!ELEMENT foo (#PCDATA)>
DTD;

libxml_set_external_entity_loader (
function (
$public , $system , $context ) use( $dtd ) {
var_dump ( $public );
var_dump ( $system );
var_dump ( $context );
$f = fopen ( "php://temp" , "r+" );
fwrite ( $f , $dtd );
rewind ( $f );
return
$f ;
}
);

$dd = new DOMDocument ;
$r = $dd -> loadXML ( $xml );

var_dump ( $dd -> validate ());
?>

The above example will output:

string(10) "-//FOO/BAR"
string(25) "http://example.com/foobar"
array(4) {
    ["directory"]    => NULL
    ["intSubName"]   => NULL
    ["extSubURI"]    => NULL
    ["extSubSystem"] => NULL
}
bool(true)
