php and libxml2 version

[AlexJ]

While installing mediawiki, i am getting this error:

Your system has a combination of PHP and libxml2 versions which is buggy and can cause hidden data corruption in MediaWiki and other web applications. Upgrade to PHP 5.2.9 or later and libxml2 2.7.3 or later (bug filed with PHP). Installation aborted.

I checked and i am using
server:~# cd /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
libxml2.so.2 libxml2.so.2.7.8

but phpinfo() says i am using 2.6.32. How can i fix the issue? Anybody good with linux can show some light on how to resolve the issue?


Thanks

Some basic questions first, what's your OS, current PHP version?

Debian Squeeze and PHP 5.3.6-6

I don't do debian, but check your php.ini to see where your extensions are.

Now, go grab a new version of libxml2.so and copy it there. finished.

Or... maybe even apt-get update libxml2 or php-libxml2 or something along that line...
