 New Comment:

If the Fedora packages do not work then this is a RedHat packaging
problem and you should complain to them/open a bug etc. etc.

Like I say, in Mandriva we made sure we provided packages that worked
because they were compiled with expat.

Thanks for advice, but I'm not guru in the Linux, as I haven't cpanel
on my server. I tried use 'yum remove' libxml2 and add new, but off
course this is stupid and doesn't work. I liked Linux, as the easiest
and powerful system, but now, I'm stock. I haven't any idea how I can
remove libxml2 and build new system with old one. One idea - change
system on Fedora 9, because FC 10 have the same bug with fucking
libxml2. Sorry, I was at Data Center 8 hours and I had problem with
servers with new system. I don't like updates now... they have bugs
every where, and I'm tiered resolve this bugs. Sorry, Have a Happy New
Year. I'll never ever will update my systems less when half year.

Guys please READ the report, this is a bug in libxml NOT a bug in PHP.

Why not just fix the bug so that existing installs can pick up a
standard update without having to rebuild the program.

Not everyone using PHP is necessarily comfortable with recompiling it
in order to implement a workaround for a bug.

If you are on a shared host with a fixed PHP version then really the
host should be responsible for deploying a well packaged version of PHP.
If they are not doing that it is the host that is at fault and you
should raise the issue with them.

I understand that there are workarounds to this bug, but for those of
us on shared hosts that we can't recompile, this is a colossally
frustrating state of affairs.

Does anyone in PHP land have any timeline for a fix?
