#45976 [Asn]: SPL fails to load if simplexml is not loaded
ID: 45976
User updated by: development at domain51 dot com

Bug Type: SPL related
Operating System: OS X
PHP Version: 5.3CVS-2008-09-02 (CVS)
Assigned To: helly
New Comment:
Just my two cents: I agree with Johannes here. If SimpleXMLIterator is
the only requirement on SimpleXML, I would definitely move that to the
SimpleXML extension and give SimpleXML a dependency on SPL - a
dependency that should never fail as SPL is always on in versions >=
5.3.

No, the behavior is wrong, the configure system should fail not create
an invalid build.
The question is: Should we enforce the availability of SimpleXML or
not? Without too much thinking I tend to say no, and thinking a bit more
I'm wondering if it makes sense to move SimpleXMLIterator from SPL to
SimpleXML then we could get rid of that dependency. Marcus, what's your
opinion on this?

The problem is that SimpleXML should not be something that can be
disabled if it is required for SPL and SPL can not be disabled. This
will break all manner of debian packages that compile with
--disable-all
used.

What exactly is bugged about this according to you?
SPL requires simpleXML, which you explicitly disallow. Seems pretty
straightforward to me? enable simpleXML and SPL will load just fine
again.
