Re: PHP extension initialisation

Hi, I asked about this a few weeks ago with apache on windows. The best answer I got was from George Schlossnagle: <quote>I believe this is because when apache does it's intial configtest run as part of start (to validate it's config), it has to do a complete startup (otherwise it wouldn't know about conf params used by modules loaded as DSOs. So you see a startup; shutdown; startup.</quote> that's exactly what I saw happen so seeing as shutdown occurs as well it wasn't a problem in my case.
