Hi,

we had our extension fastsearch.so in /etc/httpd and in /usr/local/lib/php.ini
the following directive:

extension=/etc/httpd/fastsearch.so

PHP failed in loading this extension because it searched in:

/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-BUILDDATE//etc/httpd/fastsearch.so

As a workaround, I made a symlink, but I wonder why PHP doesn't accept extensions having in another path than /usr/local/lib/php/extension/... ?

TIA, Bj?rn.

Has it been fixed already now in CVS? (Can't test it at the moment)

Did you try using extension_dir directive?

Works with extension_dir now, but the extension directive should care about an absolute path.

This is the correct behaviour. WIll change to feature/change request.
