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
