PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library (xsl.so / libexslt.so.0)

Question

I'm getting an error whenever I start up PHP:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/xsl.so' - libexslt.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

I started to receive this error when I installed php-xml (running under centos).

This error occurs on both PHP version 5.3 & 5.4

Can anyone shed any light on this? php-xml still seems fully functional (DOMDocument functioning correctly).

Thanks

check in /etc/php.d/ to see if you already have xsl.ini.

I mistakenly believed I needed to insert extension=xsl.so into my /etc/php.ini file for an issue with Jenkins but its already being loaded from here. Hope this helps, it fixed my issue.
