simplepie error : XML or PCRE extensions not loaded!

using simplepie it does not load the target feed, and does not display any errors. Just nothing. 

if your feed is init'd with $feed check for feed errors with: 

      $feed = new SimplePie();

$out .= "feed errors: " . $feed->error . "<br />";

or 

echo $feed->error

then to fix the error: XML or PCRE extensions not loaded!

you will need to install xml for php on your server

check version of php and install xml for that version

fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;

for my server it was 

sudo apt install php7.4-xml

Ah well there goes that hour... but now its fixed for next time hopefully this may save you the same weird error when using simplepie.

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."

I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
