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());
?>
