what is the best way to load xml into a php file?  
I have tried using the domDocument new() load approach but it throws out an error.

```auto
 **Fatal error** : Call to undefined method: domdocument->load() in **/homepages/16/d107370952/htdocs/site/deploy/php/xmlreader/text1.php** on line **3**

```

and I do have php5 capablities on the test server.  
any theories out there??
