Status: Assigned
Bug Type: XML related
Operating System: Mandriva Linux
PHP Version: 5.2.6
Assigned To: rrichards
New Comment:
What is the recommended advice for PHP software that relies upon the
XML
extension? It'd be easier to say that libxml2.7.02.7.2 wasn't
supported
if it weren't for the fact that I've had at least one user come who had
LIBXML_VERSION equal to 20632 with this issue we can't just add a
LIBXML_VERSION based workaround, not just because the constant doesn't
exist on 4.3.0, but also because it is seemingly isn't reliable.

If the Fedora packages do not work then this is a RedHat packaging
problem and you should complain to them/open a bug etc. etc.
Like I say, in Mandriva we made sure we provided packages that worked
because they were compiled with expat.

Thanks for advice, but I'm not guru in the Linux, as I haven't cpanel
on my server. I tried use 'yum remove' libxml2 and add new, but off
course this is stupid and doesn't work. I liked Linux, as the easiest
and powerful system, but now, I'm stock. I haven't any idea how I can
remove libxml2 and build new system with old one. One idea - change
system on Fedora 9, because FC 10 have the same bug with fucking
libxml2. Sorry, I was at Data Center 8 hours and I had problem with
servers with new system. I don't like updates now... they have bugs
every where, and I'm tiered resolve this bugs. Sorry, Have a Happy New
Year. I'll never ever will update my systems less when half year.

Guys please READ the report, this is a bug in libxml NOT a bug in PHP.

Why not just fix the bug so that existing installs can pick up a
standard update without having to rebuild the program.
Not everyone using PHP is necessarily comfortable with recompiling it
in order to implement a workaround for a bug.

If you are on a shared host with a fixed PHP version then really the
host should be responsible for deploying a well packaged version of PHP.
If they are not doing that it is the host that is at fault and you
should raise the issue with them.
