Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: PHP options/info functions PHP Version: * Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: See also bug #9095 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-07 00:44:27] mastamind at users dot sourceforge dot net Description: ------------ using extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php" extension = "../pgsql.so" makes php search for pgsql.so in /usr/local/lib. It would be nice if php allows absolute paths for extension loading: extension = /usr/local/lib/pgsql.so as specifing it relative to the extension_dir is quite strange and probably makes extension_dir useless. specifing absolute paths with dl() may result in a security problem, but using it in php.ini may be ok. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41310&edit=1
