Ubuntu users, please note that this extension might not enabled for you by default. You may need to install by doing "sudo apt-get install php-xml" followed by web server restart.
Installation
This extension is enabled by default. It may be disabled by using the following option at compile time: --disable-xml
These functions are enabled by default, using the bundled expat library. You can disable XML support with --disable-xml. If you compile PHP as a module for Apache 1.3.9 or later, PHP will automatically use the bundled expat library from Apache. If you don't want to use the bundled expat library, configure PHP with --with-expat-dir=DIR, where DIR should point to the base installation directory of expat.
The Windows version of PHP has built-in support for this extension. You do not need to load any additional extensions in order to use these functions.

Trying to look at the Oolite wiki, I was diverted to a page reading:
______________________________________________________
MediaWiki 1.31 internal error
Installing some PHP extensions is required.
Required components
You are missing a required extension to PHP that MediaWiki requires to run. Please install:
xml (more information)
_______________________________________________________
Clicking on (more information) brought me here. Don't understand a word of the gubbins on this page. A complete mystery. "More information" for somebody with silicon chips for a brain, maybe, but not for an ordinary human being! No idea what PHP is. No idea what an xml is. No idea what a parser is. Or how to download whatever I'm supposed to download.
