PHP5, domxml, on Windows Cfg./Error

need the straight dope on domxml for Windows !
Is it bundled or are DLL's necessary ?
Also, what changes are needed in php.ini ?

My setup: WXP, PHP 5.0.2 as an Apache Module, libxml v2.6.11
or so it says.

I see there's been quite a bit of posting on mailing.www.php-dev Re:
phpinfo() mis-reporting domxml enabled.
I had a post re: this also on: php.windows
>From Livedocs ..
requires sablot.dll, expat.dll, iconv.dll (bundled).

Curious about all these:
iconv
libxml and 2, also libxmlsec
libxslt and libexslt

Error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function domxml_new_doc()
TIA for your help and suggestions.

The DOM XML extension has been moved into the PECL repository as of PHP 5.
You should use the DOM extension instead.

OK, fair enough, it was easy to use the MySQL extension.
and, of course, moving the DLL to Windows\System32 was my 1st step.
Since the php.ini does not have a line specifying this as an
extension, Should 1 be created ? I assume so, since it apparently
doesn't work now.

If you can obtain a copy of the DOM XML extension dll for PHP 5 then I see
no reason why you cannot enable it in your php.ini file.

Yes, that did it.
So in general, if an extension is needed that is not listed in the .ini
extension section, Add the Line.
..... just that simple, but not documented anywhere ....
