'dl() is deprecated' Error in PHP5.2.3

Hi Can someone explain to me why I'm getting the 'dl() is deprecated' error? I'm running PHP5.2.3 and I believe that I have the php.ini settings correct: error.log:[2010-08-24T13:38:53] <b>PC Error</b>: dl() &#91;function.dl&#93;: dl() is deprecated - use extension=test.so in your php.ini bash-2.05b$ php --version PHP 5.2.3 (cli) (built: May 4 2009 16:23:02) bash-2.05b$ php -i | grep -i safe Thread Safety => disabled safe_mode => Off => Off safe_mode_exec_dir => no value => no value safe_mode_gid => Off => Off safe_mode_include_dir => no value => no value sql.safe_mode => Off => Off bash-2.05b$ php -i | grep -i dl enable_dl => On => On I thought that 'dl' wasn't deprecated until version 5.3.x Thanks in advance, Bruce
