You should update PHP to the newest version of 4.x, first. Or even
upgrade to PHP5.

domxml will not be shown in phpinfo() output because the extension is
not loaded. You have to do one of the following:
-recompile PHP with domxml enabled using ./configure
-load the extension through php.ini
-use the dl() function to load the extension

To do one of the second two, you need to acquire the extension files.
In php.ini, use Extension="domxml_ext_location_here" to load it, or
pass the location as the argument to dl() in the script.
