PHP 8.2.13 fails to build against libxml 2.12.1 and libxslt 1.1.39

But replacing

libxml2-v2.12.1 with libxml2-v2.9.14 AND libxslt-v1.1.39 with libxslt-v1.1.35

Resolves the problem and PHP 8.2.13 builds correctly.

So I have the following questions:

1. Is this intentional?
2. If so, what is the most recent version of libxml2 and libxslt that PHP 8.2.13 supports?
3. Is there any intention to support libxml2-v2.12.1? (as it introduces some nice sounding memory behaviour)

Thank you

Hi @ricky-rockstar

This seems to be a duplicate of #12702 which is already resolved.
I just tested again and it works on the latest development branch of PHP-8.2. The fix will be in PHP 8.2.14 (or you can check out the current development branch).
The reason it broke is because libxml has changed some include files.

Is this intentional?

No

If so, what is the most recent version of libxml2 and libxslt that PHP 8.2.13 supports?

Not intentional, but 2.11.5 works on 8.2.13. 2.12 will be supported in 8.2.14.

Is there any intention to support libxml2-v2.12.1? (as it introduces some nice sounding memory behaviour)

Yes ;)
