It'd be very nice if some extension could be enabled just by dropping the

So developers can check what they have using phpinfo, and then upload the
needed extension using ftp. Is it possible?
if a "developer" only would try such idiotic action
he would lost his accounts forever and get fired from
one day to the next!
WTF how can anybody have the idea that it would be a good
idea to let non-sysadmins uplod and execute binaries on a
server?
Thanks you for all yours responses.
Now it's clear what the issue is... the usage of compiled "libraries".
We need some middleware between the core and PHP.
That way extensions could be written in PHP, compiled and distributed in
some "library" format.
Library users just add them into their path, include them, and use the
classes/functions as usual.
- No OS dependence
- minimum dependence with core version
- size of core will reduce drastically
- faster runtime, include only what libs you use, as you need them
That one is PEAR ....
