How to enable or install XLST in php xampp

Question

I have a default installation of xampp which has php 5.3. I came across an issue while using symfony framework CLI to create database tables. I am using Windows XP. Here is the command I run:

 symfony propel:build-sql 
 Output: Could not perform XLST transformation.Make    sure php has been compiled/configured to support XLST. 

Please guide me through the installation of XLST in windows xp.

Answer 1

You probably need to enable the XSL extension .

Look for something like the following in your php.ini file

;extension=php_xsl.dll

and un-comment it by removing the semi-colon. You may need to check the location of the extension and that it complies with your extension_dir directive .

In addition to Phil's answer...

I found that the easiest way to find and enable the XSL extension was through the XAMPP Control Panel UI.

1. Open the XAMPP Control Panel
2. In "Actions" click on "Config" next to "Apache" module and click on PHP (php.ini) .
3. That should open the PHP.ini file in text editor. Search for " ;extension=php_xsl.dll " and remove " ; " from the line.
4. Save the file and close.
5. Restart Apache.
