Re: Re: how to load extensions outside the extension_dir

when I did this in a shared hosting environment, I looked at phpinfo() running on the server in question, then changed all values in my new php.ini to be the same as the one on the server. You get most of what you need changed by doing that. Plus its almost always a standard install with shared hosting services (in my experience) so its hard to really mess up. -- -------------------------------------------------------------->> Jasper Howard :: Database Administration ApexEleven Web Design 1.530.559.0107 http://www.ApexEleven.com/ <<-------------------------------------------------------------- "Marten Lehmann" <lehmann@cnm.de> wrote in message news:4144A3C2.2080405@cnm.de... > Hello, > > > You can't, > > It's a security thing. > > this doesn't make sense.
