multiple extension_dir

[loquela]

Hi there,

 

I'm working with a graphics generation api that uses custom php modules. I'm on shared hosting so  need to put the module in my local cgi-bin and issue the directive  extension_dir=/home/sites/pdf.co.uk/cgi-bin/

 

this gets the api working great. However, it overrides the default extension_dir=/usr/lib/php5/, so now none of the other php modules can be loaded.

 

Can I set multiple parameters for extension_dir? if so, what's the syntax?

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

S.

I'm not sure you can or not but if you could each directory would be separated by : on Linux or ; on windows.

Thanks for that,

 

extension_dir= /usr/lib/php5/ : /home/sites/pdf.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ;

 

This didn't work. Is there anything else I should be doing?

 

Thanks in advance;

Try...

 

extension_dir="/usr/lib/php5:/home/sites/pdf.co.uk/cgi-bin"

 

I'm not sure why you had the ; at the end, this isn't php

Thanks thorpe,

 

But this just throws this error :

 

dl(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5:/home/sites/pdf.co.uk/cgi-bin/phpchartdir520.dll' - /usr/lib/php5:/home/sites/pdf.co.uk/cgi-bin/phpchartdir520.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

"It appears the PHP extension directory of this system is configured as "/usr/lib/php5:/home/sites/pdf.co.uk/cgi-bin", but this directory does not exist or is inaccessible. PHP will then refuse to load extensions from any directory due to invalid directory configuration."

My guess then is that you cannot configure multiple directories. In fact a quick Google reveals a few proposals on the subject posted within the internal mailing lists.
