Re: XML requirements: Are the docs incorrect ?

Hi, > http://www.zend.com/php5/andi-book-excerpt.php says > > "In PHP 5, all XML extensions have been rewritten to use the superb libxml2 > XML toolkit" > > But the official docs http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php > on XML extension say under the requirements section > " This extension uses expat, which can be found at > http://www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html." Unfortunately nobody from phpdoc had found the spare time to update the docs. If you file a bug report at bugs.php.net (Documentation problem) it will be adressed sooner or later, as somebody finds time. > There used to be some talk about "bundled libxml". > I couldn't find any bundled libxml2 in the PHP5 distribution. > Is ext/libxml2 it ? > .. or do I need to pick it up from xmlsoft.org ? Yes, you have it to pick up from xmlsoft.org > I would prefer to use libxml2 for all extensions really. It's possible, read the output from ./configure --help ;-) Friedhelm -- http://www.jungle-world.com/
