In this regard to fit more with Solaris file layout traditions, we would like to keep the core PHP modules under /usr/php5/modules and the user specific downloaded PECL/PEAR modules under /var/php5/modules.. However, if I am not mistaken, PHP core doesn't support loading PHP modules from more than one location. So, I was wondering if this feature can be considered within PHP core ?

For example, within PHP.ini , a user can more provide more than 1 location to look for PHP extensions extension_dir=/usr/php5/modules;/var/php5/modules

As of PHP 5.3 you can use the full path with the extension= directive in php.ini. Additionally you can use identifiers as variables therefore the following would be possible: extension_dir = /var/php5/modules solaris_extension_dir = /usr/php5/modules extension=${solaris_extension_dir}/foo.so extension=bar.so Would that be enough for you? :-) Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, Open Solaris has PHP 5.2.5 and we will integrate PHP 5.3 once it is officially released. I guess, I can look into the option of back porting this patch for PHP 5.2 series until we are ready to move to PHP 5.3 within Open Solaris.
