I'm trying to configure PHP to use libxml2, without much success. I'm configuring PHP using:

./configure --with-dom

I also try --with-dom=<DIR> (where DIR is a random trial and error from me) I get the following error. Based on where files are (below) perhaps you can advice me on what DIR should be...

configure: error: Please reinstall the libxml >= 2.4.14 distribution

I can't install libxml2 with Fink (presumably because of our Firewall) so I've used some Mac OS X binaries from xmlsoft.org.

This includes libxml.framework, libxslt.framework, libiconv.framework and libexslt.framework folders which are in /Library/Frameworks. I have xmllint and xsltproc commands in /usr/bin.

Is it because I need libxml2-devel? If so, how do I get it, as I can only find RPMs for Yellow Dog Linux!

What can I do to make this work?

Thanks,
Chris

doesn't marc liyanage's package of PHP support libxml2?

yup

Thanks, this worked.

It would be interesting to know how to do it manually, but I won't be tearing my hair out!

clebin, run phpinfo() and you'll see how it was configured.

Just FYI, here is how Marc did it:

Code:
'configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php/lib' '--with-apxs' '--with-iconv=/usr/local/php' '--with-openssl=/usr' '--with-zlib=/usr' '--with-mysql' '--with-pgsql=/Users/marc/cvs/entropy/php-module/build/postgresql-build' '--enable-cgi' '--with-gd' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local/php' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/php' '--with-t1lib=/usr/local/php' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/php' '--with-tiff-dir=/usr/local/php' '--with-curl=/usr/local/php' '--with-mcal=/usr/local/php' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/local/php' '--with-mhash=/usr/local/php' '--with-pdflib=/usr/local/php' '--with-imap=../imap-2002d' '--with-imap-ssl=/usr' '--with-expat-dir=/usr/local/php' '--with-gettext=/usr/local/php' '--with-dom=/usr/local/php' '--with-dom-xslt=/usr/local/php' '--with-dom-exslt=/usr/local/php' '--with-xslt-sablot=/usr/local/php' '--with-mssql=/usr/local/php' '--with-fbsql=/Users/marc/cvs/entropy/php-module/build/frontbase-build/Library/FrontBase' '--enable-xslt' '--with-ldap' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-xml' '--with-iodbc' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-dbx' '--enable-dbase' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-exif' '--enable-wddx' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-mbstring'

it won't let me post a new topic in this forum so my question is here, where it seems most relevent.

Q. what is the php equivalent of a c++ data structure (what is the notation for it) and how can i parse some xml with php (assuming i had the libraries and everything setup) so that i can load the xml into an easily accessible structure in the php?

if someone could explain how do do that *very simply* i'd be grateful.

thanks.
