note 109987 added to function.dl

For those trying to load extensions somewhat after 2009, it appears the dl() function is not merely disabled but *completely unavailable* in PHP 5.3+ when you're using a web SAPI (Apache/IIS), regardless of the php.ini settings. You must load the extensions directly in php.ini. If you don't have access to php.ini then you're outta luck. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 68.185.40.180 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109987 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109987/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109987/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109987/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109987/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109987/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109987/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109987 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109987 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
