My appologies M. looking through the output of phpinfo() on a PHP5 install i have found a line which says dom DOM/XML enabled which would allude to an ability to disable it. also, i was looking at the XSL extension and discovered Installation PHP 5 includes the XSL extension by default and can be enabled by adding the argument --with-xsl[=DIR] to your configure line. DIR is the libxslt installation directory. so the XSL extension seems to work differently than XML extension. both extensions are availble with the PHP5 core but where DOM is enabled by default XSL must be explicitly enabled. is there a portion of the documentation that you are aware of that clearly explains this? enabling and disabling core extensions.. thanks, -nathan On 7/8/07, M.

Actually, I'll have to correct you on that. Everything in PHP is an extension, even the standard functions (which are part of the 'standard' extension). Some extensions are "built-in" while others are not (ie. standard, in PHP5, the DOM module is built-in). However, this does not mean they are also enabled! There are hosts which build php with --disable-dom, there are also hosts which build php with --disable-libxml thus disabling all xml-related functionality. - Tul Nathan Nobbe wrote: >> On 7/8/07, M.
