I'm running a local apache2 server on my ubuntu. I need the PHP DOM XML functions to work, but there seems to be no domxml support for my Apache2.

So, using a PHP function like domxml_open_file() should work. But it does not. I've got a message saying there's no such a function. I've tried the deprecated "xmldocfile()", but here again, no way to.
I've installed through synaptic the "XMLv2 module for php4", as there seems to be no equivalent for PHP5, but still no domxml support.
I also have a remote hosting. Everything is enabled the same way, and same error message. The phpinfo() shows that the server is "--dom-disabled". I've asked my hosting company to enable it. I guess that will work afterwards. My local server -I suppose- uses mod_so to load this module. I *may* have to set a loadModule directive somewhere, but where?

If you are using legacy code that needs to use the domxml functions then you can still install a pecl package to make this possible. Since you are using ubuntu this is not too hard :-)
apt-get install php5-dev php-pear
pecl install domxml
The DOM extension allows you to operate on XML documents through the DOM API with PHP 5. For PHP 4, use DOM XML.DOM Functions [php.net]
