I haven't figured out why but the problem seems to be in how the recipe.xml file is formed. The parser thinks it has no root node. I put <cookbook> before <recipe> and </cookbook> after </recipe> and the error goes away. Now the output is a little off but that's another problem.

So imagine brackets around these. What I said was that I put a cookbook tag before the recipe tag and an end cookbook tag after the end recipe tag and that fixed the error.

In trying to recompile php with the --with-dom attribute, I found that I had to install libxml2, which I tried doing.

That's when I hit a wall because I was getting errors compiling libxml2.

Thankfully, I wasn't alone. Here's a post I found that details the exact same problem I had. And a hack around it:

I'm relatively new to php and very new to XML, but I was able to follow this tutorial and used it to place stock quotes on a web site. The service I use for this allows a limited amount of hits per day and suggested I cached the data coming in for short periods to reduce the number of requests. I'm not sure how to go about that. I'm calling a url for the stock data, and not sure how to cache all the resulting data. Any help? Thanks.

If you receiving XML data from COM object you should be able to cache the xml string in an Application variable. You could write some simply ASP code to check the date and the time and determine if it should reload the XML string or if it should use the XML string in the Application variable. If your not using the XML string in the APP variable then you should call your component to get the new XML data. caching will speed up your web site for sure and it is a good use of the web servers memory. The overall implementation of caching involves the use of Application variables.
