How so? I can understand that people get used to it, but it's really bad. extensions should be loaded in the php.ini file. There's really no good reason for using dl() over the php.ini method.

Of course there is. One example is using the same PHP binary to run scripts that use different extensions that wouldn't necessarily want to load all the time through php.ini.

    Also, just to mention, right now it might not be that big a deal to
    load them all in php.ini (well something as big PHP-GTK would be,
    but...), however, as PHP gets more and more extensions written in C,
    there needs to be this functionality.

Why? Whatever extension you use on your box, put them in the php.ini. dl() is never a better option. Zeev
