Hi everyone, we're looking to try out Symphony, an open source CMS, and we were looking into using XAMPP with it, as it includes all of the dependencies. Symphony requires this however:

PHP 5.3 or above
PHP's LibXML module, with the XSLT extension enabled (--with-xsl)
MySQL 5.0 or above
An Apache or Litespeed webserver
Apache's mod_rewrite module or equivalent

Is there any way to have XAMPP install PHP with the --with-xsl flag on it?

We're installing this on Centos 7.

Why Xampp? You cannot install a different PHP version than the delivered version. If PHP is not compiled with --with-xsl, you cannot change that.

Usually all linux distributions offer a fully featered LAMP environment, which mostly is superior to Xampp in any way. Its fully flexible and you may even compile it from scratch.
