No, that is not much of a secret...

/etc/admserv/php.ini
====================

;UNIX Extensions
;extension=interbase.so
extension=pgsql.so 
extension=i18n.so  
extension=cce.so

PostgreSQL driver is loaded "just for fun", too. It *used* to be needed? :-)
(back when the admin interface used postgres instead of the CCE database)

Those extensions provide some extra PHP functions that are used by
the admin GUI for loading i18n (gettext) strings and contacting CCE.
See I18n.php and CceClient.php for some code that uses them...
(the other PHP modules talk to those two for the functionality)

PS. The released Qube 3 version of those modules compiles and run fine
    under Apache 2.0 and PHP 4.3, running on Red Hat 9... See OpenQube:
