Do I need to install any special modules on the server for my users to run XML?

That's a very broad question. :) But I think what your users need is an XML parser for their language of choice. PHP comes with an XML parser, and it is configured by default, so probably it is already there in your php installaion. For perl you need to install the XML::Parser module.

Great, it does come with PHP4. That will work. Thanks!

Note that there are two XML parsers for PHP4: SAX and DOM. SAX is enabled by default I believe, but for DOM you will have to do a bit more configuration. See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.domxml.php for more info

Ewww, I went to that PHP.net page, it was pretty ugly.

Anyone come up with a step by step to enable XML Dom?

Thanks,

Do you additionally need to provide XSLT support? I find many people wanting XML support also want XSLT support too.

If so you will need to enable the Sablotron extension (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.xslt.php)
