Bug #15741 Updated: Dynamic Library support not available

ID: 15741 Updated by: yohgaki@php.net Reported By: joelauer@simplewire.com Status: Open Bug Type: Dynamic loading Operating System: Mac OS X PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Since there are less develpers working for Mac OS X (if there is :) Mac OS X support is poor. We are welcome if you could submit config patches for Mac OS X. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-26 19:10:33] joelauer@simplewire.com It seems as though ALL PHP versions that I have tried on the new Mac OS X don't support dynamic library support. This means that extensions cannot be loaded at startup time OR with the dl() function call. Its extremely important that this function works in order for my software to work. When I run phpinfo.php this is the message that shows up: Dynamic Library support not available However, this statement isn't true. Darwin and Mac OS X definitely supports dynamic loading of libraries. Mac OS X lets you either use ".dylib" or ".so" extensions. ".so" is the one that you want. For example, Apache can load modules at startup, so why can't PHP? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15741&edit=1
