DTD stands for Document Type Definition which defines the structure and the legal elements and attributes of an XML document. DTD isn’t visible on a webpage because they act like comments. Entities are used to define shortcuts to special characters.

Syntax:

bool XMLWriter::endDtdEntity( void )

Parameters: This function doesn’t accept any parameter.

Return Value: This function returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Below examples illustrate the XMLWriter::endDtdEntity() function in PHP:

Example 1:




<?php
  
// Create a new XMLWriter instance
$writer = new XMLWriter();
      
// Create the output stream as PHP

// Start the document
$writer->startDocument('1.0', 'UTF-8');
   
// Start the Dtd Entity
$writer->startDtdEntity('entity', true);
   
// End the Dtd Entity
