note 40911 deleted from function.dl by danbrown

Note Submitter: nutbar at innocent dot com ---- For those who are tearing their hair out due to the extension_dir being set to "./", here's a somewhat graceful fix that will be portable: dl(preg_replace('/\/([^\/]+)/', '../', dirname(__FILE__)) . __FILE__ . '/../some/path/dll.so'); You could alternatively make that preg_replace part into a separate function and call it something like dirname_rel() or whatever. It basically replaces all the path components with ".." and spits out a relative path, so that when mixed with the "./" part of the extension_dir setting, it puts you at the root folder "/" so that you know where you are :)
