    DOMXML extention required but not present

    Hi Folks.

    I'm new to the family. First post...hello to all.

    4.x versions of PHP installations normally have the PECL/PEAR extention DOMXML included. Apparently, it is not in the base Dathorn installation. It is also not available as an optional extention.

    I am aware that this ext has been deprecated in php5, but that doesn't help me much.

    Any workarounds, or is this something that the management might consider?

    Thanks,

    Rick O'Brien

    If you need DOM XML support with PHP 5 you can use the DOM extension. This domxml extension is not compatible with the DOM extension.
    This will not be offered with PHP 4, which won't be around for much longer anyways hopefully.

      Addhandler in htaccess didn't work

      Hi Andrew...

      Thanks for the quick response..

      I tried to make the switch to php5 using:
      AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
      in the .htaccess file.

      but I end up with a "No input file specified" error.

        Are you accessing your site via the temporary URL (ie not domain name, but IP with a username)?

        I was told by Andrew that PHP5 won't work with the temporary url (http://ipaddress/~username/). From memory I was receiving the same error message.

        You have to use the domain name instead.

          James is correct.

            If so, this can be fixed by using your Hosts file and entering the domain and IP address temporarily.

            You can do this for all need domains:

            domain.com
            www.domain.com
            mail.domain.com
            ftp.domain.com

            Makes it a lot easier to work with new domains if your in a hurry. Just don't forget you did this, it should only be used temporary.

            I have problems with Verizon DNS caching and the Hosts file comes in quiet handy.

              Thanks

              That was the case. I am in the process of creating a new site, but I am not yet prepared to switch the DN pointer to it.

              I don't feel so dense now that the answer was not evident.

              Thanks, all.
