Is SimpleXml Enabled
To check your installation, in a php environment, you make use of the phpinfo output.
You can the output:
- via the command line
php -m
- via a php page, created at the root of your server. If you create the phpinfo.php with the below code, it will be accessible at http://host/phpinfo.php
<?php
phpinfo();
The php info will show if SimpleXml is enabled as extension:
If the extensions is not enabled, you need to enable it.
Enabling the SimpleXml Extension
Due to the complexity of server installation, we are giving below some tips but we can't help more without having access to the server.
Windows
For windows, you should install a php that was compiled with SimpleXml (which should be the default)
Linux
On Linux, it may be:
- not installed by default:
# ubuntu, ...
sudo apt-get install php-xml
# centos, redhat
sudo yum install php-xml
- not configured in the php.ini. Make sure that you see it in the extension.
