Subject: XML requirements: Are the docs incorrect ?
From: roshan.naik@hp.com ("Naik, Roshan")


http://www.zend.com/php5/andi-book-excerpt.php says=20

"In PHP 5, all XML extensions have been rewritten to use the superb =
libxml2 XML toolkit"

But the official docs http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.xml.php
on XML extension say under the requirements section

=20
" This extension uses expat, which can be found at=20
 http://www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html."

There used to be some talk about "bundled libxml".
I couldn't find any bundled libxml2 in the PHP5 distribution.
Is ext/libxml2 it ?=20
.. or do I need to pick it up from xmlsoft.org ?

I would prefer to use libxml2 for all extensions really.
