Cannot make DOMXML work! Need help.

Anon

Hi, I've got a problem:

I installed 4.2.0 on Apache/Windows ME and plugged in the DOMXML extention.
But if a number of DOMXML methods occures in the code, say append_child(), there comes a Windows alert "domxml2.dll performed an illegal operation and will now close"

How can I fix it?

Thanx beforehand
Victor

Hi,

It works on my w98 with php4.20, apache 1.3.2x.

Get newest domxml2.dll from : www.fh-frankfurt.de/~igor/projects/libxml

Unpack and copy "lib2xml.dll" to "c:\windows\system\"

in PHP:

Copy the file \php\php4ts.dll to c:\windows\system\

Specic for Apache 2.0.x and PHP 4.20:
copy "\php\experimental\apache2filter.dll to \windows\system\".

Load php as module in apache:

LoadModule php4_module c:/webserver/php/sapi/php4apache.dll AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Tjeck the new api to PHP-domxml at php.net, and my full toturial on www.mdz.dk

Hi Mads,

splendid article!

But putting apache2filter.dll to C:\windows\system\ didn't help 🙁

I still get something like "Apache caused an error in LIBXML2.DLL. Apache will now be closed." I beleive, it's a WinME problem, I guess I'll upgrade to Win 2000, or?
Ok I'll play on a remote Unix machine.

P.S. is it lib2xml.dll or still libxml2.dll?

Hi Mads,

I found where the problem was. I was trying to do the following:

$node=xmltree("<dd>Hallo<br/>again</dd>");
$root=append_child($node);

but xmltree() returns an object of DomDocument object and append_child requires a DomElement one - there was a conflict.

Is there any way to turn a piece of formatted text into an object and to append it to another node?

Thanx
Viktor
