I am seeing this error in 2.7.3 as well, so the fix does not seem to be
working.

Just FYI - I have been seeing what would appear to be this issue with
libxml2 2.7.6 (with Moodle), so it seems that "2.7.3 or higher" doesn't
cut it. Reverting to 2.6.32 solved the problem for me.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.
Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
This fix also requires the soon to be released libxml2-2.7.3 or higher
when using 2.7.x.

Ok, I'm going to try and rebuild the Fedora 8 source RPM to avoid the
libxml2 bug ... but I'm not all that familiar with how PHP is built ...
and could use a pointer or two on what to change on the configure
command line.
Any suggestions?

What is the recommended advice for PHP software that relies upon the XML
extension? It'd be easier to say that libxml2.7.02.7.2 wasn't supported
if it weren't for the fact that I've had at least one user come who had
LIBXML_VERSION equal to 20632 with this issue we can't just add a
LIBXML_VERSION based workaround, not just because the constant doesn't
exist on 4.3.0, but also because it is seemingly isn't reliable.

If the Fedora packages do not work then this is a RedHat packaging
problem and you should complain to them/open a bug etc. etc.
Like I say, in Mandriva we made sure we provided packages that worked
because they were compiled with expat.
