Are you sure, you're doing it right? the dom extensions usually is compiled by default.

It looks like you run into namespacing issues. Try

$foo = new \DomDocument();

instead of just DomDocument() and it should hopefully run.

@BarryMode it's because of the namespace, instead of looking for the class in the current directory it's needs to look for it globally. – Laurence Cooper Jul 17 '18 at 10:34
