1and1 speak with forked tongue. The default settings in PHP 5.2 are as
follows:

allow_url_fopen = On
allow_url_include = Off

You should not normally enable allow_url_include as it represents a
serious security risk. There should be no risk with allow_url_fopen.

Thankfully 1and1 came up trumps with the following advice:

By default "fopen" function is disabled in php 5. order to enable it
you have to activate or turn on fopen function in php.ini.
allow_url_fopen = On
allow_url_include = On

Yes, most of the community experts, as well as a lot of the other people
who answer questions, use a newsreader. Editing messages in the web
interface tends to lead to confusion. Thanks for reposting.

Thanks for the confirmation.

That error is caused by this line:

$xml = DOMDocument::loadXML($content);

The most likely cause is that the old version of
MM_XSLTransform.class.php has somehow been uploaded to the host where
you get the error. Delete MM_XSLTransform.class.php and upload a clean,
new version.

I don't have PHP 5.2.6 installed. I'm running 5.2.5, and there's
absolutely nothing wrong with the code used in the 8.0.2 hotfix. The
error message you're quoting says DOMDocument::loadXML() should not be
called statically. The code used in the hotfix doesn't call it
statically. That was the fix - *not* to call it statically.

It sounds as though you're using an old version of
MM_XSLTransform.class.php. You can check whether you have the right
version by looking at lines 301-303. They should look like this:

// $xml = DOMDocument::loadXML($content);
$doc = new DOMDocument();
$err = $doc->loadXML($content);

Note that the first line is commented out. That's the line that caused
the error. The next two lines fixed the problem.
