How to Test Whether SimpleXML is installed on my PHP or not?

Question

Anyone knows that? That thing is installed by default. But is there an easy way to check whether an extension is installed or not?

I check that simplexml_load_string is available to me but how do simplexml is not listed on php.ini

Answer 1

There is another way also. You can create a php page

    <?php
     echo phpinfo();
    ?>

You can see Simple XML enabled or disabled here.

Answer 2

This works for me...

extension_loaded('simplexml')

example:

if (extension_loaded('simplexml')) {

    echo "all good, extension is installed";

} else{ echo "snip snap! no cigar";}
