<para>
This function will take the well-formed xml string
<parameter>data</parameter> and return an <type>object</type> of class
<type>SimpleXMLElement</type> with properties containing the data held
within the xml document. If any errors occur, it returns &false;.
</para>
<para>
You may use the optional <parameter>class_name</parameter> parameter so
that <function>simplexml_load_string</function> will return an object of
the specified class. That class should extend the
<type>SimpleXMLElement</type> class.
</para>
<para>
Since PHP 5.1.0 and Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the
<parameter>options</parameter> parameter to specify <link
linkend="libxml.constants">additional Libxml parameters</link>.
