fixing error Call to undefined function simplexml_load_string

usually the error "Call to undefined function simplexml_load_string" happens when the php xml library is missing from your server.

You can install the xml php library with the following command, replacing the version of php-fpm with the version you are running. 

sudo apt install php7.0-xml

On this server im running 7.4 at the time of writing this, so need to do:

sudo apt install php7.4-xml

Seems that all my API's were broken, as this library was missing, great.. 

After installing make sure you restart your web server. 

sudo service nginx restart

There is a qualitative and quantitative difference between a day that begins with a little exercise, a book, meditation, a good meal, a thoughtful walk, and the start of a day that begins with a smartphone in bed.
