如何将libxml更新/安装到xampp

Question

I am trying to create a google map with multiple markers. But I came across this code

$doc = domxml_new_doc("1.0");
$node = $doc->create_element("markers");
$parnode = $doc->append_child($node);

and I am getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function domxml_new_doc() in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\dlti\\phpscriptmap.php on line 5

Fatal error: Call to undefined method DOMDocument::create_element() in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\dlti\\phpscriptmap.php on line 6

Fatal error: Call to undefined method DOMDocument::append_child() in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\dlti\\phpscriptmap.php on line 7

I check my php and my DOM/XML is enabled and my libxml version is 2.7.8. Is my libxml oudated? I have downloaded libxml2-2.4.14.tar.gz but I don't know how to install the library to my php/xampp.

domxml_new_doc(); is a function from the DOMXML extension in PHP 4. This extension was replaced by ext/dom in PHP 5. The methods are more complete and written in camel case.

$dom = new DOMDocument();
$markers = $dom->appendChild(
  $dom->createElement('markers')
);
