Updating / Adding Modules

[leestrayer]

Is there a way of adding or updating PHP extensions without recompiling PHP under xampp for windows?

Specifically, I'm using my XAMPP Windows installation as a test box, and I want to duplicate the XML support of my virtual host server. They use expat under Linux, and XAMPP uses libxml2. I'm generating XML from MySQL under PHP, and the PHP code I wrote works on the Linux server but not under XAMPP because of missing functions.

Any ideas/ help would be greatly appreciated.
