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 :) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40911 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40911&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40911&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
