Create an empty PHP file and put only in it, look at it in a browser.
Check if you can spot --disable-dom in the configuration options and/or if you can see details about the DOM extension in the list below.

If you cannot see DOM in the list or you see it is disabled, your PHP installation does not include the DOM extension. You'll need to recompile your PHP installation from source to remedy that.
