I am in a predicament here. My PHP code used to work but since I upgraded to PHP 5.2.6 I now get:
Warning: domdocument::domdocument() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in C:\xamps older\xampp167\htdocs\test\myphp\CSR Demo pack\csr\output.php on line 46
Fatal error: Call to undefined method domdocument::loadHTML() in C:\xamps older\xampp167\htdocs\test\myphp\CSR Demo pack\csr\output.php on line 50
Here is the source:

After doing some research online I found that Zend extensions could be the cause. Here is what my Zend setup looks like.
This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine: Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies with the ionCube PHP Loader v3.1.34, Copyright (c) 2002-2009, by ionCube Ltd., and with Zend Extension Manager v1.2.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2007, by Zend Technologies with Zend Optimizer v3.3.3, Copyright (c) 1998-2007, by Zend Technologies
I have tested this code on several new Windows systems and it has failed on all. This leads me to believe that most, if not many, webhosts might be using a similar setup to the one I have. The common solution, based on what I have read, is to disable Zend or comment out specific areas of the php.ini file. Because this is part of a script meant for distribution, most of my customers will not have direct access to the php.ini nor have access rights to modify webserver settings such as Zend extensions.
How do I solve this in code? Is there a workaround? Or is there an alternative to using DOMDocument?
