Urgent problem with PHP domxml_open_mem(), php extension php_domxml.dll. Need help!

[oskare100]

Hello,
When I try to use the domxml_open_mem() I get the error Fatal error: Call to undefined function: domxml_open_mem() in /home/domains/tests/ebay.php on line.."

My server is an CentOS server, I've root access to it, with php4, apache and MySQL installed to handle the web pages.

I found an old thread at another forum with the following information about a similar problem;

You are probably receiving this error because php is not loading the
php_domxml.dll extension. This extension is requried for the function
you are trying to use.

Make sure you have the php_domxml.dll file and then add the following
to your php.ini configuration file.
extension=php_domxml.dll

But I don't have the php_domxml.dll file (and not the extension=php_domxml.dll in the php.ini file either), how can I get it (if I need it)? I've searched for a few hours now and the only thing I've figured out is the Linux don't use DLLs and that the name of the file probably should be php_domxml.so but I can't find that file either.. so I'm lost here..

I've found information and installation requirements at http://se2.php.net/manual/en/ref.domxml.php but it seams like my php configuration is correct, but please, take a look at it. You can find it at http://69.80.225.234/tests/phpinfo.php. Here is what it is configured with:

 './configure' '--build=i686-redhat-linux-gnu' '--host=i686-redhat-linux-gnu' '--target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu' '--program-prefix=' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--cache-file=../config.cache' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--disable-debug' '--enable-pic' '--disable-rpath' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-bz2' '--with-db4=/usr' '--with-curl' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-gd=shared' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--without-gdbm' '--with-gettext' '--with-ncurses=shared' '--with-gmp' '--with-iconv' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-pspell' '--with-xml' '--with-expat-dir=/usr' '--with-dom=shared,/usr' '--with-dom-xslt=/usr' '--with-dom-exslt=/usr' '--with-xmlrpc=shared' '--with-pcre-regex=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-yp' '--enable-wddx' '--with-pear=/usr/share/pear' '--with-imap=shared' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos' '--with-ldap=shared' '--with-mysql=shared,/usr' '--with-pgsql=shared' '--with-snmp=shared,/usr' '--with-snmp=shared' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' '--with-unixODBC=shared,/usr' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dbx' '--enable-dio' '--enable-mbstring=shared' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-mime-magic=/usr/share/file/magic.mime' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs'

I've also installed libxslt-1.1.17 and libxml2-2.6.26 but nothing more. Maybe I need to do something more?

Thanks in advance

1. why you load .dll ? it is win32 extension. under linux you should use .so
2. check php.ini file and set right extension_path value
3. check for php_domxml.so (or domxml.so) file exists in your extension path
4. if not exists, follow steps for build extension (phpize, configure, make) - these steps described in documentation.

Hello,
I don't actually know where php_domxml.so is but I searched for it and couldn't find it so I guess I don't have it. In the extension folder (from the php.ini file) I could only find a .so mysql file and another .so file.

I did also search for php_domxml.so but couldn't find any information about it, google kept suggesting php_domxml.c instead, could that be the file?

How do I know if it is the right extension_path value in the php.ini file? And how do I know what to build the extension with? From what I could see in my PHP config I had the necessary things.. Or can you see any errors in the php config?

Really thanks for your reply,

your extension_dir is /usr/lib/php4
it is ok.
so, build domxml extension:
cd <phpsources>/ext/domxml/
phpize
./configure <params for domxml>
make && make install
this put right extension name to php.ini file and try to restart apache
