Bug #55194 [Com]: PEAR doesn't honor the ext_dir configuration variable

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55194&edit=1 ID: 55194 Comment by: till@php.net Reported by: kalessin at kalessin dot fr Summary: PEAR doesn't honor the ext_dir configuration variable Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Irrelevant PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sorry, somehow I f'd up the comment, what I meant to say was: Please report bugs for pear on http://pear.php.net/pear Also, your patch does literally nothing. !$foo and $foo === false are the same thing. file() returns false when the path is incorrect. Anyhow, please report over at PEAR. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-13 07:48:11] till@php.net It's bogus anyway. It's not supposed to suggest that. You'll have to set extension_dir in your php.ini so an extension is found and can be loaded. The complete path is never added to extension=foo.so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-12 22:21:23] kalessin at kalessin dot fr Description: ------------ I'm using PEAR 1.9.0, but newer version are also affected. PEAR fails to open and parse an empty php.ini file because the return value of file() is not checked correctly (see attached patch). It's easy to end up with an empty php.ini file when you set the php_ini configuration variable to a custom location. The attached patch applies to SVN r313186 Best regards PS: It's not clear where this bug should be reported, the PEAR website doesn't seem to have the concept of bugs in PEAR itself but only in packages… Test script: --------------- #!/bin/sh php_ini=mktemp pear config-set php_ini $php_ini user pecl install mongo rm -f $php_ini Expected result: ---------------- [..] install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/mongo-1.2.1 Extension mongo enabled in php.ini % Actual result: -------------- [...] install ok: channel://pecl.php.net/mongo-1.2.1 php.ini "/tmp/tmp.V6wU8jpMA4" could not be read You should add "extension=mongo.so" to php.ini % ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55194&edit=1
