Can not run my php script

Virtualmin
1

I am having problems running php scripts that use
the DOMDocument class.

e.g.
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTMLFile($page);
echo $doc->saveHTML();

I get this error.
Fatal error: Class ‘DOMDocument’ not found

When I looked up the class on the php manual
it says this:
There is no installation needed to use these functions; they are part of the PHP core.

I googled the problem at found this:
Fedora 4 doesn’t come with the php-xml rpm installed.

My system info says:
Kernel and CPU Linux 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 on i686

Does this not have the php-xml rpm installed.?

How do I get this running ?

  • I am not up to speed with
    this kind of change .

Howdy,

I am not up to speed with this kind of change .

If you’re still using Fedora Core 4, it sounds as if you may not be up to speed with a lot of changes :slight_smile:

Make sure you’re finding a way to get the security updates in place, as FC4 hasn’t any updates made for it since 2006 or so.

Anyhow, onto your question –

If you’re getting that error, it does sound like php-xml either isn’t installed, or isn’t being loaded.

You may want to log into your system using SSH, and type:

rpm -qa | grep php

To see what PHP modules are installed. If you don’t see the ones you need, you’ll just need to go ahead and install it using “yum”.

Thanks for your help.

I ran the command and got this reply:

php-mcrypt-5.1.6-15.el5.centos.1

wbm-php-pear-1.5-1

php-pdo-5.1.6-23.el5

php-snmp-5.1.6-23.el5

php-devel-5.1.6-23.el5

php-gd-5.1.6-23.el5

php-pear-1.4.9-4

php-common-5.1.6-23.el5

php-cli-5.1.6-23.el5

php-mysql-5.1.6-23.el5

php-pgsql-5.1.6-23.el5

php-mbstring-5.1.6-23.el5

php-odbc-5.1.6-23.el5

php-imap-5.1.6-23.el5

php-5.1.6-23.el5

php-ldap-5.1.6-23.el5

php-xmlrpc-5.1.6-23.el5

The last one in the list looks like the one -

so that means that it should be running ?

Is there something it the php.ini file that I need to turn on ?

Well, I’m not entirely certain what distro you’re running there (those package names suggest CentOS 5) – but I suspect you’d want php-xml rather than what you already have installed, which is php-xmlrpc.

If your distro has the php-xml package, you’d just need to install it with: yum install php-xml

OK I ran that from command shell and it didn’t work
So I ran it fom putty and I got:

Installed: php-xml.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
Dependency Updated: php.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-cli.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-common.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-devel.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-gd.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-imap.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-ldap.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-mbstring.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-mysql.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-odbc.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-pdo.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-pgsql.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-snmp.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 php-xmlrpc.i386 0:5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
Complete!

Then I ran this again
[root@heavyhoster ~]# rpm -qa|grep php

and get:
php-mcrypt-5.1.6-15.el5.centos.1
wbm-php-pear-1.5-1
php-common-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-imap-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-mbstring-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-xml-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-pear-1.4.9-4
php-pdo-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-pgsql-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-devel-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-odbc-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-gd-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-mysql-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-cli-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-ldap-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-xmlrpc-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3
php-snmp-5.1.6-23.2.el5_3

So hopefully it will be ok.

I will just go and check.

OH dear :frowning:

I still get :

Fatal error: Class ‘DOMDocument’ not found

Do I need to restart the web server or the mysql server ?

7

OK - I did RESTARTED both servers and the error changed to:

Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile() [function.DOMDocument-loadHTMLFile]: I/O warning : failed to load external entity " <meta name=“keywords” content="site seal, trust seal, website seal, business seal, customer feedback software, approval, validate, e-commerce, feedback, visitor feedback, validation, customer support software, consumer care, ecommerce, in /home/tolly/public_html/curl_5.php on line 33

looks like its a script error so propbably the restart did the trick

Thanks for helping. :slight_smile:

That funny these two sites are now not working:

http://www.support-focus.com/customer-service-software.html

http://www.expert-world.com/website-traffic.htm

Is it related to the changes I just did ?

9

No it is OK now,

I think it was just a coincidence !

Glad to hear it’s working now, thanks for the update!
