Re: [xml] DOM modifying XML without permission

[Aidan Lister <aidanis gmail com>]

Hi Rob,

I'm using PHP 5.1 and libxml2 2.6.17, I can't find any documentation
on these options. Could you provide pointers? (I assume because they
are libxml2 options, it's still relevant to this list).

Kind regards,
Aidan
