They are part of the PHP core and cannot be left out of a PHP binary with compilation options." However, at least one of mentioned Core extensions, namely Sessions, does not fit into this description. --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/session.installation --- "Session support is enabled in PHP by default. If you would not like to build your PHP with session support, you should specify the --disable-session option to configure." Moreover, on some systems (namely FreeBSD) sessions are actually supplied as a separate package that is not necessary to be installed in order to use PHP. Therefore, a conclusion can be done that either Sessions is not a Core extension or the definition of Core extension is not accurate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76259&edit=1
