Description:
------------
While all simplexml functions are working fine, simplexml_import_dom just fails as if a non-existing function.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$doc = new DomDocument;
$doc->preserveWhiteSpace = TRUE;
	
$doc->loadXML($result);
	
$s = simplexml_load_string($result); // pass
	
$test = dom_import_simplexml($s); // pass
	
$s = simplexml_import_dom($doc); // broken ! 


Expected result:
----------------
Was working with PHP 5.0.0.
Apparently broke when passing to PHP 5.0.3.

Actual result:
--------------
Error code :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function simplexml_import_dom()

You haven't build ext/dom in. Just add --with-dom to your configure line..

OK but then shouldn't you pass that to a documentation "bug" or "lack of precision" ?

The current manual states :
"
CXIII. SimpleXML functions
Installation
The SimpleXML extension is enabled by default. To disable it, use the --disable-simplexml configure option.
"

and

"
XXVII. DOM Functions
Installation 
There is no installation needed to use these functions; they are part of the PHP core.
"

Thinking of it again, I think you miss the point.
I am not talking of PHP 4, but PHP 5.
--with-dom is used to add the old DOM XML to PHP 4, not to PHP 5 (or am I wrong ?) .

I am spkeaking of PHP 5.0.3 and the new built-in SimpleXML and DOM functions.

So I re-explain what happens : all SimpleXML functions (and PHP5 XML functions) work correctly, ONLY simplexml_import_dom() fails. That is the strange point.

new DomDocument works ; simplexml_load_string() works, access to the xml elements using the SimpleXML syntax (echo $s->racine->anelement) works. But simple_import_dom() fails and only that.

yes, you're wrong. 
your PHP basically was built without DOM support, as it was said.

Could someone explain me how my PHp can be built "basically without DOM support" but :

$doc = new DomDocument;   // Work OK
$doc->loadXML($result);   // Work OK
$s = simplexml_load_string($result);   // Work OK
$countNodes = count($s2->xpath('ancestor::*')); // Work OK
etc...
etc...

??

ALL DOM and SimpleXML functions DO Work !
ONLY $s = simplexml_import_dom($doc) FAILS !

It is hard to beleive my PHP was build without DOM support when ALL DOM functions (except one) are working OK !
