In this regard to fit more with Solaris file layout traditions, we
would like to keep the core PHP modules under /usr/php5/modules and the
user specific downloaded PECL/PEAR modules under /var/php5/modules.
However, if I am not mistaken, PHP core doesn't support loading PHP
modules from more than one location. So, I was wondering if this
feature can be considered within PHP core ?
For example, within PHP.ini , a user can more provide more than 1
location to look for PHP extensions
extension_dir=/usr/php5/modules;/var/php5/modules
As of PHP 5.3 you can use the full path with the extension= directive in
php.ini. Additionally you can use identifiers as variables therefore the
following would be possible:
extension_dir = /var/php5/modules
solaris_extension_dir = /usr/php5/modules
extension=${solaris_extension_dir}/foo.so
extension=bar.so
Would that be enough for you? :-)
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, Open Solaris has PHP 5.2.5 and
we will integrate PHP 5.3 once it is officially released. I guess, I can
look into the option of back porting this patch for PHP 5.2 series until
we are ready to move to PHP 5.3 within Open Solaris.
