How to enable php-xml extension

How does one go about fixing this? I read that I may need to do

sudo apt-get install php-xml

I have done this and everything went ok but still doesn't change it to installed.

FYI: I have only been using this OS for a few days so please go nice on me :)

If you are working with php in windows, you can just access to the file "php.ini" located in your php instalation folder and uncomment the ";extension=xmlrpc" line deleting the ";" ("extension=xmlrpc")

This extension is enabled by default. It may be disabled by using the following option at compile time: --disable-xml

These functions are enabled by default, using the bundled expat library. You can disable XML support with --disable-xml. If you compile PHP as a module for Apache 1.3.9 or later, PHP will automatically use the bundled expat library from Apache. If you don't want to use the bundled expat library, configure PHP with --with-expat-dir=DIR, where DIR should point to the base installation directory of expat.

The Windows version of PHP has built-in support for this extension. You do not need to load any additional extensions in order to use these functions.

Ubuntu users, please note that this extension might not enabled for you by default. You may need to install by doing "sudo apt-get install php-xml" followed by web server restart.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language similar to HTML, but the difference between HTML and XML is HTML has predefined tags but in XML we can create our own tags. The format of XML is standardized, if we share or transmit the XML over other systems and platform the receiver still will be able to parse the data due to the standardized XML syntax. XHTML, MathML, SVG, XUL, XBL, RSS, RDF, etc are some languages based on XML. The php-xml package is a dependency package and it depends on the default version of PHP in Ubuntu. This package contains different types of modules for PHP like DOM, WDDX, XML, SimpleXML, and XSL modules.
