Description:
------------
The installation procedure tries to be helpful and adds a 
loadmodule instruction to the apache configuration. This 
might be nice if you have a default installation, but I 
firmly believe in keeping separate packages separate to 
keep my installation manageable. Therefore I have separate 
configuration files for addons like php or subversion; the 
"main" httpd.conf gets overwritten every now and then. 
 
So I'd like have at least the option of disabling this 
feature.

This is not something that PHP does, but the apache "APXS" tool. If you want to prevent that, either don't use "make install" or make a static module for PHP.

But axps only does this if the "-a" flag is specified. Just 
drop that.

I'm all for this, as I thought it to be very annoying too...

I just stumbled upon this really old (and still open) bug from PHP 4 while Googling this very issue on 5.2.17.

Has this ever been addressed?  If not, was there any pressing reason why or is it just not a priority?  If the latter, I could probably take ownership of this if nobody has any objections.

Since there are no objections, I went ahead and assigned this to myself.  I also updated the version to reflect that this issue is still present in the 5.x branches.

RFC to resolve this issue:  https://wiki.php.net/rfc/apxs-loadmodule
 [2015-08-24 14:48 UTC] cmb@php.net 
Um, the RFC has been accepted for PHP 5.4.11, but it is still
listed in the "Pending implementation" section:
<https://wiki.php.net/rfc#pending_implementation>.

What's the status?
