 * Hi, when trying to add my API for WP stats, I get the following message:
    Fatal
   error: Call to undefined function xml_parser_create() in /home/(blogname)/public_html/
   wp-includes/class-IXR.php on line 165
 * Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? I can’t readily see anyone else
   having the same problem…

 * The most likely issue(it was mine) is that you are missing the xml extension 
   for php. [http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.xml.php](http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.xml.php)
 * You may need to ask your server administrator to add xml support for php.
 * Php may also need to be recompiled for this, though it might be possible to just
   compile the xml extension.
 * Using gentoo, I was able to resolve the issue by adding xml to my use flags and
   recompiling php with –newuse.
 * Note that regardless of how you do this, you will need to reload/restart apache
   for it to take effect, as I had to too 🙂
