That is interesting that you mention that. In the php.ini. what should the
path be for the dynamic extensions?

Mine by default is ./

if I point it to /usr/lib for example where (for example only) gdlib.so is
(If I want to use gd library, that is a pseudo file name in this example)
all I have to do is make sure the path is to that dirctory and then add

extension=gdlib.so

And without having to re ./configure I can use Gd library?

do I need to use
dl("module.so");

In short, how do I load dynamic extensions? lol

Php.net didn't help me understand it too well

Thanks, just had to ask, if I may
