Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51589&edit=1 ID: 51589 Updated by: degeberg@php.net Reported by: jameswithers89 at googlemail dot com Summary: DOM installation documentation is misleading -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: Fedora 12 GNU/Linux PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: Thank you for your report. I don't think we can be held accountable for how Fedora and the dozens of other distributions decide to package PHP, however. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-18 15:09:40] jameswithers89 at googlemail dot com Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/dom.installation.php states "There is no installation needed to use these functions; they are part of the PHP core". Unfortunately [the documentation] doesn't reference the fact that one needs (at least on Fedora 12 GNU/Linux) the package php-xml. Could this be added to the aforementioned installation page? Test script: --------------- N/A Expected result: ---------------- Installation DOM support requires php-xml. For instructions on installing this, please refer to/visit/do...etc...etc... Actual result: -------------- Installation There is no installation needed to use these functions; they are part of the PHP core. DOM support may be disabled with --disable-dom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51589&edit=1
