#28710 [Opn->Csd]: missing xml_create_parser_ns in win32-binary ->major Problem for RDF API Project

ID: 28710 User updated by: mail at d-westphal dot de Reported By: mail at d-westphal dot de -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: XML related Operating System: WIN32 PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-06-09 (dev) Assigned To: rrichards New Comment: Thanx alot ! cheers daniel Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-10 15:28:14] chregu@php.net As if "Cheap Public Webservers" are running Windows ... There's no bundled libxml2 for other operating systems.. Anyway, Rob (our main libxml2 Windows guy) is looking into it, so no need to further complain here ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-10 12:13:59] bnowack at appmosphere dot com The xml_parser_create_ns function is a MUST for efficient parsing of W3Cs RDF/XML-based formats. RDF has a quite complicated XML serialization, which already makes it hard to build *really fast* parsers. I don't know if this bug would affect (hosted) linux systems as well, but if we had to move namespace handling from the native code to interpreted PHP, I guess that would be very painful in terms of performance. thanx, benjamin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-10 10:56:21] chris at bizer dot de Hi, I think the main point here is that administrators of cheap public webservers usually install the standard PHP distribution and that if this distribution doesn't contain an up-to-date xmllib then XML-based PHP applications don't work on public web servers. This contradicts the main argument for using PHP for XML-based applications, which is: Your application will run on 14 million servers. Cheers, Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-09 17:19:11] mail at d-westphal dot de Hi Derick, you're totally right, the problem is the compiled win32 distribution (it ships with libxml2 2.5.11 already compiled in). But if the 5.0 win32/binary-release will still contain only the 2.5.11 libxml2, then all php-apps using the xml_parser_create_ns command will stop working under win-systems (and i don't guess lots of people will (or can) self-compile under windows, when there's a win32/binary-distribution) ! Please correct me if I'm wrong or shift the bug-report to the right category Thanks and cheers, Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-09 16:56:37] derick@php.net This is not a real bug in PHP, you'll just have to use libxml2 2.6. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
