Am new Mac user, new MacBook Pro (Intel), longtime PHP/Apache/MySQL on Windows... Trying to get PHP scripts that work fine on Windows to work on Mac. Gap is that the version of PHP that came with Tiger doesn't seem to have DOMXML enabled.
After several hours of web searching, I'm very confused: It's not clear to me whether there actually is a version of XMLLIB already on the Mac (somewhere) that just needs to be enabled with the right PHP.INI line (what line?) or if I need to install it from somewhere. I started down the path of installing Fink; Actually "installed" the binary for XMLLIB, but where did it get installed to? What do I need to do to PHP to let it know it's there.
On Windows, the PHP.INI line "extension=php_domxml.dll" made all this work... I think the comparable line for unix would be " ...domxlm.so" but I'm not sure it's that simple, and I don't see that .so file anywhere on my machine (or where to get it off the web).
I'm trying very hard to avoid having to rebuild PHP from source... This will open a whole new bag of worms (that is, a whole new set of stuff I'll have to learn and get right, for Mac OS, for which I'd rather avoid taking the time or risk to do right now). I'm also somewhat fearful that if I rebuild PHP, I'll end up breaking other things that work fine in the current version on the Mac.
Can anyone tell me whether it's possible to "turn on" DOMXML support in PHP with what's already there on my Mac? How?
Thanks!
