Getting XML extensions to work

[vrillusions]

I am running PHP v4.3.1 on Apache 1.3.27 on Mandrake 9.1 (kernal 2.4.21-
0.13mdk) I tried running the phpSysInfo script ( http://phpsysinfo.sf.net/
) and gave me the error "Call to undefined function: xml_parser_crea te() "
And that is supposed to be a function used by the XML extension. I checked
my php info ( http://svr2.vrillusions.com/info.php ) and there is no XML
secion. I checked the XML section of the manual (
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php ) and said I needed to install
expat. There was a precompiled RPM for mandrake so I got that installed,
restarted apache and it still doesn't work. It seems like I would have to
tell php somehow that I have XML now, but can't figure out how to do that.
Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

Don't do this for longer than is absolutely necessary. There's a fair
bit of information exposed here which could help someone compromise the
server (paths, installed software, etc). Save the output and remove the
file, print it out, .htaccess it or something.

....can't answer your question though :)

yeah I know, I just made that before posting so if people had any
questions that could be answered from that page, they could do it. Once
I figure this out I'm removing that again (not like it's that hard to
make the page anyway :) )

@#$Q$@%@#$% I didn't get it to work before, but I just did an su, not su
-l so I didn't get the extra paths that root gets, that was why I
couldn't find it before. Did that and it works fine. Thanks

Re: Getting XML extensions to work

Regarding XML in general, bear in mind that PHP 5 will come with a totally
new XML handling based on libxml2.

I haven't looked too much into the PHP5 code so far, so I can't tell how big
the difference will be, but that may be worth taking into account.
