Unfortunately nobody from phpdoc had found the spare time to update the docs. If you file a bug report at bugs.php.net (Documentation problem) it will be adressed sooner or later, as somebody finds time. > There used to be some talk about "bundled libxml". > I couldn't find any bundled libxml2 in the PHP5 distribution. > Is ext/libxml2 it ? > .. or do I need to pick it up from xmlsoft.org ? Yes, you have it to pick up from xmlsoft.org > I would prefer to use libxml2 for all extensions really. It's possible, read the output from ./configure --help ;-) Friedhelm -- http://www.jungle-world.com/
