Class 'DOMDocument' not found

php xml magento

Solution 1

You need to install the DOM extension. You can do so on Debian / Ubuntu using:

sudo apt-get install php-dom

And on Centos / Fedora / Red Hat:

yum install php-xml

If you get conflicts between PHP packages, you could try to see if the specific PHP version package exists instead: e.g. php53-xml if your system runs PHP5.3.

Solution 2

PHP 7.0:

Ubuntu: apt-get install php7.0-xml
CentOS / Fedora / Red Hat: yum install php70w-xml

PHP 7.1:

Ubuntu: apt-get install php7.1-xml
CentOS / Fedora / Red Hat: yum install php71w-xml

PHP 7.2:

Ubuntu: apt-get install php7.2-xml
CentOS / Fedora / Red Hat: yum install php72w-xml

PHP 7.3:

Ubuntu: apt-get install php7.3-xml
CentOS / Fedora / Red Hat: yum install php73w-xml

PHP 7.4:

Ubuntu: apt-get install php7.4-xml
CentOS / Fedora / Red Hat: yum install php74w-xml

PHP 8.0

Ubuntu: apt-get install php8.0-xml
CentOS 8 [with php:remi-8.0 enabled]: dnf install php-xml

Solution 3

PHP8: (latest version)

sudo apt-get install php8.0-xml

PHP7:

sudo apt-get install php7.1-xml

You can also do:

sudo apt-get install php-dom

and apt-get will show you where it is.

Solution 4

Package php-dom is a virtual package provided by:
  php7.1-xml 7.1.3+-3+deb.sury.org~xenial+1
  php7.0-xml 7.0.17-3+deb.sury.org~xenial+1
  php5.6-xml 5.6.30-9+deb.sury.org~xenial+1
You should explicitly select one to install.

In case anyone using 5.6 versions then go with this way

sudo apt-get install php5.6-xml

For PHP ver PHP7, Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install php7.1-xml

or by

yum install php-xml

Solution 5

I'm using Centos and the followings worked for me , I run this command

yum --enablerepo remi install php-xml

And restarted the Apache with this command

sudo service httpd restart

I've found an error on a page in my Magento application; it always show this message error when I visit it:

Fatal error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found in /home/.../lib/Zend/Feed/Abstract.php on line 95

Can you give me a solution? I'm using magento 1.4.1.1.

  This answer (enable php-xml) seems coherent, why doubt it instead of just testing it? From a few google searches it seems to be one of the possible issues

  DomDocument instead of DOMDocument can sometimes fix this issue .

That depends on your system. Worst case you have to recompile PHP from scratch.

installing php-xml solved this for me but don't forget the 'service httpd restart'

I was running php 5.5 with the webtatic repo (Cent OS) and had to do yum install php55w-xml and that worked fine for me. Of course have to restart afterwards.

Relying on configure option is most often a mistake, read blog.remirepo.net/post/2010/09/29/phpinfo-BUG-or-PEBKAC so it have been removed from phpinfo output in some distrobution (debian, fedora...)

I'm running PHP 7 (7.0.15-1~dotdeb+8.1) on an Nginx VS (via Docker) and this worked like a charm! Don't forget to do `docker-compose restart'!

Worked for me running php5.6 on ubuntu 14.04 and using the dompdf package.

on CentOS, module php-xml can be (at least for v5.6) installed with yum install php56w-common; see webtatic.com/packages/php56 another (possible) pitfall may be, that only the file /etc/php.d/xml.ini but not /etc/php-cli.d/xml.ini is present.

For PHP7, it's just php-doc.

For me: sudo apt-get install php7.1-xml

If compiled from source, you could use --enable-dom

For Ubuntu, apt install php-xml does the trick. And, of course, restarting apache afterwards systemctl restart apache2

Is there not a php-xml alias/virtual package?
Amos Jeffries about 4 years

This is also starting to occur with php7.3 to 7.4 transition. When the web server PHP module is based on 7.3 and php-xml is 7.4. Updating to a consistent PHP version (either one) works fine.

Better to keep "remi-php7x" always enabled, as explained by the wizard, rpms.remirepo.net/wizard

In addition to restarting Apache, remember if you are using php's built in web server to kill and re serve your application.
