PHP libxml_disable_entity_loader() Function
The PHP libxml_disable_entity_loader() function disables/enables the ability to load external entities. Disabling the loading of external entities may cause general issues with loading XML documents. However, as of libxml 2.9.0 entity substitution is disabled by default, so there is no need to disable the loading of external entities, unless there is the need to resolve internal entity references with LIBXML_NOENT. Generally, it is preferable to use libxml_set_external_entity_loader() to suppress loading of external entities.
Note: This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 8.0.0.
