Whomever said that there are no issues with libxml as the api doesnt change, sure didnt take into account that the functionality does change which can really break things until it its well tested and fixed (both 2.5.7 and 2.5.8 binaries have issues affecting php5). The binaries from the libxml windows maintainer are occasionally updated with the latest code, so hopefully the next 2.5.8 will be rolled within the next few weeks.
This also means that some versions of 2.5.8 from non windows distros will most likely cause the same problems, all depending upon when it was built and what release of the package. If anyone needs a working libxml binary for windows , I packaged a debug and release version (FOR DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES ONLY). You can grab them from: http://www.ctindustries.net/dom/libxml2-2.5.8.phpdebug.zip http://www.ctindustries.net/dom/libxml2-2.5.8.php.zip The release version is completely untested. The debug version, which I am using, is a debug build with libxml memory debugging enabled. They are both built from the stock 2.5.8 tar.gz file with only the code which is breaking under php5 patched (the changes are now in libxml cvs as well).
