encoding
       The optional encoding specifies the character
       encoding for the input/output in PHP 4. Starting from PHP 5, the input
       encoding is automatically detected, so that the
       encoding parameter specifies only the output
       encoding. In PHP 4, the default output encoding is the same as the
       input charset. In PHP 5.0.0 and 5.0.1, the default output charset is
       ISO-8859-1, while in PHP 5.0.2 and upper is UTF-8. The supported
       encodings are ISO-8859-1, UTF-8 and
       US-ASCII.
      
separator
       With a namespace aware parser tag parameters passed to the various
       handler functions will consist of namespace and tag name separated by
       the string specified in separator.
      
Returns a resource handle for the new XML parser.
