PHP simplexml disabled

Hello I need to get simplexml enabled I can see when I do a phpinfo '--disable-xml' '--disable-simplexml' I have php 5.6 and php 7 enable on my build but I can only run this website in 5.6 unfortunately. I have tried and easy apache rebuild and cannot see XML options anywhere, yet "yum" shows me that xml simple and xmlrpc is installed. php.ini output PHP Version 5.6.28

Hello, You can disable this module for PHP 5.6 by editing the following file:
/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/etc/php.d/simplexml.ini
It will look like this after editing the file to disable the module:

; Enable simplexml extension module
; extension=simplexml.so

Then, restart Apache:
/scripts/restartsrv_httpd
Thank you.

I am having exactly the same problem as the original poster. The reply given above tells you how to *disable* the extension and not how to enable it. My phpinfo is pretty much the same as the OP, the important line as above is phpinfo '--disable-xml' '--disable-simplexml' How do you *enable* simplexml? Thank you (didn't want to create a duplicate post).

Solved my own problem. Not sure it's the correct way of things (or a permanent solution) but ran: yum install ea-php56-php-xml ... and has fixed the problem (when I run phpinfo the simplexml module is now loaded). Hope this helps someone else.

Having a similar issue with Opcache. It looks disabled and can't enable.

libdir=/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/lib64/php' '--enable-litespeed' '--without-mysqli' '--disable-pdo' '--disable-gd' '--disable-dom' '--disable-dba' '--without-unixODBC' '--disable-opcache' '--disable-xmlreader' '--disable-xmlwriter' '--
