Enabling XML DOM

[Tswitz00]

I am running php 4.4.2 on linux (RH).

I am trying to get XML DOM extension working with no luck. I have both libxml2 and libxslt installed.

I have tried adding
--with-xml --with-libxml-dir --with-dom --with-dom-xslt

--with-dom

--with-libxml-dir=/path/lto/lib --with-dom


I have also tried going into the ext/domxml dir and doing a configure make install

All with no luck.

Did you compile php yourself or do you use the php that came with RH ? In the latter case there should be a php-domxml rpm package available. Just install that rpm package and enable the extension in php.ini.

Compiled it myself. I do have a domxml folder in my ext directory that I tried to phpize and then I added extension=domxml.so to my ini all with no luck.

You need to add --with-php-config in order to compile the extension successfully.

Something like:

cd <phpsource>/ext/domxml
/path/to/phpize
./configure --with-dom --with-dom-xslt --with-php-config=/path/to/php-config
make
make install

the executables phpize and php-config are in <prefix>/bin where prefix is the installation prefix of php.

I ran that and I got this after a few lines
./configure: xrealloc: cannot reallocate 268435456 bytes (0 bytes allocated)

Ok it looks like it went all the way through this time and I restarted httpd and still doesnt appear to be working. I ran some code the requires it and says its still missing. Here is the configure output

Some allocation problems ... the problem may be that you didn't clean up thing before retrying to compile the extension.

Delete or rename the source directory and then extract the php tarball again to get a clean source directory.

Then phpize and configure the extension again.
