I experienced the problem with libxml2 Version 2.6.27 and PHP Version 5.2.9, and my host refused to do anything. I used the plug-in but I had to edit the if statement to work with my older version of libxml2. Once I did that, problem was solved.

I’m not familiar enough with XAMPP to know how hard it would be to build it with a new version of libxml2. You may just have to use the plugin work and bug the XAMPP devs to use versions of PHP5 and libxml2 that aren’t broken.

Is there any way for a ‘normal’ user to upgrade the version of libXML that comes with XAMPP 1.0.1, as unfortunately, they’ve included libXML 2.7.2 and I’m having this problem. I’m running OS X 10.4.11 and don’t seem to be able to compile anything on it — but I really don’t know much about this. I don’t suppose Apache Friends is going to do this any time soon? Right now neither MAMP, which recently stopped working all together, and XAMPP, are functioning properly and I do a lot of blog development.

Yes, using PHP 5.2.9 that is build with libxml2 2.7.3 fixes the problem.

was this problem ever resolved?

just hoping that when i upgrade my php from 5.2.8 to 5.2.9 and my libxml from 2.7.2 to 2.73 that my imported posts from RSS feeds will work again and not stop removing the “”. :-)
