Last week, I made a change which I hope made the names slightly less
confusing. Yes, PHP and Zend still call the same things by different
names, but before my change PHP was mixing the two, and at the same time
making reference to Apache modules. Here's some excepts from the diff.
-zend_module_entry *php3_builtin_modules[] = {
+zend_module_entry *php_builtin_extensions[] = {
-int module_startup_modules(void)
+int php_startup_internal_extensions(void)
-int module_global_startup_modules(void)
+int php_global_startup_internal_extensions(void)
-int module_global_shutdown_modules(void)
+int php_global_shutdown_internal_extensions(void)
