How to Install a PHP to XML Serializer

The Pear XML Serializer helps XML programmers parse and create XML data used in a PHP website. You must first install the serializer in Windows to allow your PHP Web files to use the libraries. The serializer includes a ".BAT" file that contains the necessary installation processes that install the libraries. This means you only need to run the file to install it on your PHP Web server.

Instructions

    • 1

      Open a Web browser and download the XML serializer file that contains the libraries and the BAT file for the installation.

    • 2

      Right-click the downloaded ZIP file and extract the files to a directory on your Web server.

    • 3

      Open the extracted folder and double-click the .BAT file. The libraries are installed in your PHP directory, so you can use them.

    • 4

      Click the Windows "Start" button and type "php.ini" in the search text box. Press "Enter" to open the window in which the PHP.INI file is located. Right-click the file and select "Open With." Click "Notepad" to open the file in the editor.

      Add the new folder location to the PHP.INI file. The following code shows you how to set up the configuration line item:

      include_path=".;C:\php\pear\"

      You need this line item, so the PHP Web host can "find" the files after the installation.
