PHP XML Extension: Not installed

Question

So i'm currently installing mybb and went through a very long tutorial on how to do it. The problem is when I get to the requirements check this shows up

How does one go about fixing this? I read that I may need to do

sudo apt-get install php-xml

I have done this and everything went ok but still doesn't change it to installed.

FYI: I have only been using this OS for a few days so please go nice on me :)

Have you restarted your webserver after you installed php-xml? — apokryfos, Aug 05 '16 at 16:22
restarted it? I just place it in a folder and its up and running. Not sure I understand what you mean :P — Forrest, Aug 05 '16 at 16:24
I mean have you tried turning it off and on? Restarting is probably the simplest way to do this or you can type `sudo service apache2 restart` in your terminal (assuming you're using apache). — apokryfos, Aug 05 '16 at 16:26
eyy it worked thanks a bunch! Learning things about this OS loads quite enjoying it too, : ) Thanks — Forrest, Aug 05 '16 at 16:34

You're close

sudo apt-get install php-xml

Then you need to restart apache so it takes effect

sudo service apache2 restart

At the time of writing, you should now be using sudo apt-get install php7.3-xml – Cody MacLeod Apr 17 '20 at 01:53

`sudo apt-get install php-xml` works fine if you are using PHP 7.4. My guess is that this command just checks your PHP version and installs the correct package based on that – Jules Colle Aug 18 '20 at 10:42

I solved this issue with commands bellow:

$ sudo apt-get install php7.3-intl

$ sudo /etc/init.d/php7.3-fpm restart

These commands works for me in homestead with php7.3

If you are working with php in windows, you can just access to the file "php.ini" located in your php instalation folder and uncomment the ";extension=xmlrpc" line deleting the ";" ("extension=xmlrpc")
