xml_parse() problems

[superid]

Hi,

My environment is apache 1.3.14, and php 4.0.4p11. I've just compiled in xml support and I'm trying out the basic example on http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php

I seem to be choking on xml_parse(), it doesn't return. I've pared all my code down to:

#this returns:
xml_parse($xml_parser, "",1);

#but this doesn't:
xml_parse($xml_parser, "<foo>bar</foo>",1);

Note, I'm passing an empty string when it works (but obviously nothing to parse) and when I send well formed XML this page doesn't return.

Tips for a php/xml newbie appreciated!

Have you defined your handler functions?

Yes, I copied the code exactly from example 1 on http://www.php.net/manual/en/html/ref.xml.html and I created a simple local xml document "data.xml"
