(Migrated from github.com)

When the DOM extension is missing, Hypha errors out with a fairly cryptic error message about the DomElement class not being found. The solution is to install the DOM extension (or php-xml Debian package).

Maybe we should check for the extensions we need (e.g. using https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extension-loaded.php) and then show a proper error message when one is missing?

Which extensions do we need? I think:

dom (in the php-xml package)
mbstring (for utf-8 handling, in the php-mbstring package)
json (for json_encode(), in the php-json package)
session (probably included by default, but maybe check for completeness)
