Description:
------------
I am trying to read an XML document.  I have found several online examples for achieving this, as well as in the PHP Manual.  Everyone does the first steps the same, and yet, when I attempt this it fails.

As far as I can tell, I have the DOM class since it is provided with the base PHP, and also because I did specifically select the DOM portion of the PHP install (to ensure I have what I need).

I get one Warning and one Fatal.



Reproduce code:
---------------
<html>
   <head>
      <title>PHP XML Reader</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      <!-- Read XML Here -->
      <?php
         $xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
         // PHP Warning:  domdocument::domdocument() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given in C:\\wwwroot\\TestSetup\\PHP_XMLReader.php on line 8
         $xmlDoc->load('test.xml');
         // PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method domdocument::load() in C:\\wwwroot\\TestSetup\\PHP_XMLReader.php on line 10
         echo '<p>"'. 't' .'"</p>';
      ?>
   </body>
</html>

Expected result:
----------------
I expected my webpage to display "t"...  but it is crashing when i attempt to load the xml file.

Actual result:
--------------
Nothing happend.
error log reported:
PHP Warning:  domdocument::domdocument() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given in C:\\wwwroot\\TestSetup\\PHP_XMLReader.php on line 8

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method domdocument::load() in C:\\wwwroot\\TestSetup\\PHP_XMLReader.php on line 10

If you use PHP 5 in windows, you don't need to declare php_domxml.dll in your php.ini file. 

so u can give comment in the line php_domxml.dll in your php.ini file. 

you only need to comment it out, but do not delete the php_domxml.dll file in the ext directory.
