Could you please make extension_dir become a colon/semicolon delimitd string (just like include_path), because I wanna set more then one extension_dir in php.ini .

For example, I want to set extension_dir = ".:/usr/local/lib/php/extensions" so that I can both put  user-specified dymanic extensions in working directory and system-wide ones in /usr/local/lib/php/extensions.

Thank you.

Here's my use case: 

Our shared hosting allows us to set the extension_dir in our own php.ini file. I have compiled a couple of extensions for my own use. If I want to use the hosting provided extensions and my own extensions I currently have to copy the provided extensions into my extension directory. Not a big deal, but seems like it shouldn't be necessary.

This is no longer necessary, since you can use an absolute path to load extensions not in extension_dir, see #41310.

Marking closed, sorry about the delay.
