Hello I need to get simplexml enabled I can see when I do a phpinfo '--disable-xml' '--disable-simplexml'

I have php 5.6 and php 7 enable on my build but I can only run this website in 5.6 unfortunately.

I have tried and easy apache rebuild and cannot see XML options anywhere, yet "yum" shows me that xml simple and xmlrpc is installed.


php.ini output

PHP Version 5.6.28
Code:

Hello,

You can disable this module for PHP 5.6 by editing the following file:

Code:
/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/etc/php.d/simplexml.ini
It will look like this after editing the file to disable the module:

Code:
; Enable simplexml extension module
; extension=simplexml.so
Then, restart Apache:

Code:
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd
Thank you.

I am having exactly the same problem as the original poster. The reply given above tells you how to *disable* the extension and not how to enable it. My phpinfo is pretty much the same as the OP, the important line as above is phpinfo '--disable-xml' '--disable-simplexml'

How do you *enable* simplexml?

Thank you (didn't want to create a duplicate post).

Solved my own problem. Not sure it's the correct way of things (or a permanent solution) but ran:

yum install ea-php56-php-xml

... and has fixed the problem (when I run phpinfo the simplexml module is now loaded).

Hope this helps someone else.

Having a similar issue with Opcache. It looks disabled and can't enable.

Code:
libdir=/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/lib64/php' '--enable-litespeed' '--without-mysqli' '--disable-pdo' '--disable-gd' '--disable-dom' '--disable-dba' '--without-unixODBC' '--disable-opcache' '--disable-xmlreader' '--disable-xmlwriter' '--
