Abstract
With the introduction of PHP 5 came a bunch of new tools to work with XML. From XML parsers to an XSLT processor and a SOAP service, the available extensions provide enough functionality to serve the majority of your needs. Problems some developers face, however, include that the extensions are not included on the server they are working with (and therefore not under their control) and that the extensions do not natively support some specific functionality. You can at least work around the latter problem. You would just be required to code the specific functionality by hand using the available tools.
