Subject:   What Is Needed For SimpleXML Support in PHP?
Message-ID:  <49BCFC98.3010602@mykitchentable.net>

I have php5-5.2.9 installed on my FBSD 6.3 system.  I am attempting to
use a php script that fails with:

Call to undefined function simplexml_load_string()

Googling suggests that this function is part of the PHP software and is
installed by default unless built with the "--disable-simplexml"
configure option.

On my system, almost everything including PHP has been installed using
portupgrade.  I searched the ports and found one named php5-simplexml so
I installed it and tried the script again.  It still failed with the
same error.

More Googling and I found that "php -m" will show which modules are
available.  Here's that output:

blacklamb> php -m
[PHP Modules]
...
SimpleXML
...

Thus it appears that SimpleXML is available.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?  I'm lost.

Thanks,

Drew
