Umm, people are using PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX in combination with dl() to load standalone extensions. Like this: dl("php_gtk" . PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX); http://www.php.net/dl It's very common. So, setting it to .dylib is going to break things. Perhaps we should have a different macro/constant for PHP_SETUP_OPENSSL(). - Andrei
