It'd be very nice if some extension could be enabled just by dropping the "extension file" on the path. So developers can check what they have using phpinfo, and then upload the needed extension using ftp. Is it possible?
This depends on what distribution you are using in Linux ... SUSE11.4 I have a nice array of new extensions which I can just download with package manager which will do any SUSE specific magic, such as checking for other files that need to be loaded with the extension. On windows this is not quite so easy, but is essentially the same process. We have been adding private builds of extensions that were not being included in the windows builds simply by downloading a copy from another location. As long as the file is built compatible with your PHP version that is all that is needed to add or update a single extension.
