If your host does not support PHP with XML

[seanf]

I have been playing about with PHP and XML recently and then found out that my host does not have the domxml extension and will not install it, so I can not use XML on my site. But today I found a script that allows you to use XML without the domxml extension, called <phpXML/> from http://phpxml.org/

It works like a charm, so I thought I would post this for people who are in the same situation.

Actually, after playing some more I think this is easier to use than the PHP XML functions

I'm having a similar problem (kind of). The XML declaration uses <? ?> just like PHP. I get errors when trying to use it because my PHP parser thinks it is PHP, and thus I get the problem.

What should I do?

If you can turn short_open_tag off in php.ini then the page will only be parsed when <?php is used

Just thinking, I don't understand why this would cause a problem as all the XML will be stored outside of the PHP script

If you want to output an XML tag like that somewhere in a PHP document without problems just do this:

<?php echo '<?'; ?>
