Please report this to the PHP ports maintainers.
Not a PHP problem => bogus

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

We need your configure line and whether you compile the extension shared or not.

Configure:
----------
'./configure' '--enable-versioning' '--with-layout=GNU' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/etc/php' '--disable-a
ll' '--enable-libxml' '--with-libxml-dir=/usr/local' '--enable-reflection' '--program-prefix=' '--enable-fastcgi' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--with-regex=php' '--with-zend-vm=CALL' '--prefix=/usr/local'

Both PHP and all the extensions were built using the standard FreeBSD ports structure.

Note the problem does NOT manifest itself on any of my 64-bit boxes.

Marcus, optional extension dependency is missing.
Though I honestly do not understand why on earth MySQLi uses SPL exception class.
IMO this is counter-intuitive and makes users to guess what is the parent class of mysqli exception - whether it's Exception or RuntimeException?

There appears to be some sensitivity to the order of modules in extensions.ini.  If extensions.ini is sorted, spl.so comes after mysqli.so and the error occurs.  If spl.so is moved to preceed mysqli.so, the error does not occur.

I had the same problem on FreeBSD 6.2-p5, PHP 5.2.5. I have tried daren's trick with reordering the list of extensions in extensions.ini - I put the mysqli.so the last. It helped.

I'm experiencing the same problem at my server <a href="http://www.sytru.com/">www.sytru.com</a> using PHP 5.2.9, however if you change the direction of modules so that spl comes BEFORE mysqli, everything works like a charm.

Just modify your extensions.ini file:

extension=spl.so
extension=mysqli.so
