Req #15036 [Opn->Csd]: PHP should be able to control module load order.

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15036&edit=1 ID: 15036 Updated by: krakjoe@php.net Reported by: yohgaki@php.net Summary: PHP should be able to control module load order. -Status: Open +Status: Closed Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Dynamic loading Operating System: Any PHP Version: 4.1.0 or later -Assigned To: +Assigned To: krakjoe Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Load module procedure will now check deps, as previously noted. However, it will not try to automatically load, and I don't think it should: It will complicate loading for an edge case when that edge case can be solved in configuration. That the procedure errors on unmet dependencies gives you some hints about the expected format of the configuration file, and that would seem to be enough.

Loading order works, manually ordering it in php.ini. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-12-03 17:51:01] jani@php.net This has been fixed in 5.x, if it doesn't work, open new report for the specific issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-16 00:34:44] yohgaki@php.net This is actually a bug from 4.1.0 :) It would be a feature request for 4.0.6 or less. Fixing this will likely require API change, configuration file changes, etc. I think the bug should fixed before PHP5. Change category and status. Problem Description: PHP module loader does not take into account module dependency. Therefore, there are problems with session and related modules since 4.1.0. The cause is session was made an internal module and initilized at first while older versions initilize session module later. Currently, session and related modules have this problem AFAIK. However, this proplem would be more serious issue when PECL module became a standard place for extensions. IMHO, it is important to discuss and fixing this problem ASAP. (BTW, this issue is not only applicable to dynamic loading, but also static module init) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-15 01:23:10] derick@php.net It's not a bug, but a feature request.
