This problem seems to occur regardless of the version of PHP being utilized.
By using a simple and basic config.m4 file that substantiates the required files, building PHP with the module as a shared extension complains with the following error message in the log:
[Sun Mar 6 17:03:09 2005] [error] PHP Warning: rrdtool: Unable to register functions, unable to load in Unknown on line 0
however, the module functions appears to work properly.
If I build the extension embedded into PHP, I still get the same message in the log however the modules functions don't work properly (doesn't work as intended) and for those who say they don't understand what "doesn't works properly" or "work as intended" and are looking for more clarity, all I can say is this, it does not do what it is supposed to do and if you need more clarity than that you will have to examine the source code and the environment and provide me with a better answer because I can't explain it other than "it doesn't do what it's supposed to do" for the lack of better words.
Now, by utilizing a very elaborate and complex config.m4 file and building in either manor I do not receive this error message in the log but the module still functions properly as a shared extension but refuses to function properly when it is embedded into PHP.
I've been seeking assistance with the problem for several weeks now and while I have received some responses, I have made little progress in solving this matter or gaining a better insight to the cause/solution to this problem.
I've examined the source carefully as well as a couple of other people and nothing appears to be outside the normal extension API, I can only verify that this problem occurs with this particular module under Mac OSX 10.2.x - 10.3.x and any version of PHP from 4.3.4 and newer (never tested on earlier versions than 4.3.4).
If you want to duplicate the problem it's simple and easy, I can send you the source, you will require access to a Macintosh computer (which I can provide since I have 14 of them) with OSXS 10.3.x installed that are accessible and all you have to do is add is build it.
While there is nothing outside of normal programming occurring and the API seems to be adhered to I cannot for the life of me figure out what is going on and can only assume that the problem is a bug in the API being the culprit.
Anyone willing to take a stab at it?
