Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: simplexmlelement

Question

I'm using this php script

$error = false;
if(isset($_POST['login'])){
    $username = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z]/', '', $_POST['username']);
    $password = md5($_POST['password']);
    if(file_exists('users/' .$username . '.xml')){
     $xml = new SimpleXMLElement('users/' .$username . '.xml', 0, true);
     if($password == $xml->password){
      session_start();
      $_SESSION['username'] = $username;
      header('Location: agis-employees.html');
      die;
     }
    }
    $error = true;
}

And I end up with this error

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: simplexmlelement in /home/virtual/site250/fst/var/www/html/employeeportal/index.php on line 7

Answer 1

This most likely means that the SimpleXML extension is not enabled/present in your PHP installation. You can verify this by executing phpinfo() and looking for 'SimpleXML'. See:
