Current behavior with a default php.ini file: PHP Warning: dl(): Dynamically loaded extensions aren't enabled in /usr/home/dereckson/dev/mediawiki/mediawiki/tools/code-utils/check-vars.php on line 41 Expected behavior: The script manages to load the extension. Solutions: * In a BSD world -> #!/usr/bin/env php --d enable_dl=On * In a OS agnostic world -> relaunch the script with php --d enable_dl=On
Gerrit change #42952.
[ Moved to correct component. ]
dl() should be enabled by default according to http://fr2.php.net/manual/en/info.configuration.php#ini.enable-dl . Though it is disabled when using safe_mode which is removed in 5.4. I don't think we need a workaround, you should fix up your php.ini to allow dl() :-D
There are two levels of PHP default configurations: * The PHP core default values (true) * The default values set in the PHP configuration files shipped in the official releases. Both php.ini-production and php.ini-development contain enable_dl = Off. These files are wildly in use everywhere others than in the shared hosting world and provide a reliable set of default values. I'm sorry you thought I were confusing a support request with a bug report: MY php.ini DOES allow dl, I were checking portability issues on scripts to maximize compatibility. If you read again the bug report, you'll note the explicit mention to these files: "with a default php.ini file". For reference: - http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=blob;f=php.ini-development;h=a9c2d06e675a8feb5365311c27fb376be225d0d1;hb=HEAD#l738 - http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=blob;f=php.ini-production;h=76d5fb5dd6ce2540a2b401cd50842fb8262fcdf1;hb=HEAD#l739 Oh, and git blame is telling me that were already like that in 2009.
(In reply to Dereckson from comment #1) > Gerrit change #42952. Patch abandoned in Gerrit, hence resetting bug status. Dereckson, do you still plan to work on this?
