Req #54564 [NEW]: extension_dir should be used for loading zend_extensions

From: Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:extension_dir should be used for loading zend_extensions Description: ------------ I've brought this topic on the internals http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=130314285822279&w=2 and I think that it would be useful and more consistent, if this could be changed, so one could easily load both "normal" and zend extensions without the need to use absolute paths. Test script: --------------- php -n -d zend_extension=xdebug.so -r '' Actual result: -------------- Failed loading xdebug.so: xdebug.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54564&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54564&r=mysqlcfg
