How do I install domxml with PHP4?

[bissatch]

Hi,

I have recently installed PHP4 with Apache2. Currently I am trying to
install the DOMXML extension. According to what I have read, if I
uncomment the extension=php_domxml.dll line in php.ini (ensuring that
extension_dir is correct and that the file is definitely in that
folder) and then restart apache this should install domxml in PHP.

Now! when I do phpinfo() it tells me that domxml is enabled (good).
Unfortunetely, when I try the following:
domxml_open_file('xml/menu.xml');
....I get the following error:
Warning: domxml_open_file(): I/O in C:\Program
Files\Apache\Apache2\htdocs\csp\home\index.php on line 28

Warning: domxml_open_file(): warning : in C:\Program
Files\Apache\Apache2\htdocs\csp\home\index.php on line 28

Warning: domxml_open_file(): failed to load external entity
"../xml/menu.xml" in C:\Program
Files\Apache\Apache2\htdocs\csp\home\index.php on line 28
Is there any reason why PHP4 would struggle with this line? Is there
anything else that I need to do to install domxml? Cheers

Try using a full path to the xml file. Read the manual page for
more info...

Instead, I used the following (taken from the manual):

$showfile = file_get_contents($path . "/" . $fileName);

if(!$domDoc = domxml_open_mem($showfile)) {
echo "Couldn't load xml...";
exit;
}

It still allows me to use relative paths. Cheers
