Ok, I've updated the RFC based on input received here. I also made a decision on the APXS vs. APXS2 question; please refer to the RFC for details. If anybody has any objections to this decision, now would be the time to say something!
I've targetted this for 5.4.1 so this won't have any bearing on the upcoming 5.4.0 release. If I don't hear any new objections, I plan to initiate the vote sometime early this week. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/apxs-loadmodule --Kris On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 4:44 PM, Kris Craig <kris.cr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Oh ok, I think I see where you're getting confused. > > This problem occurs when your LoadModule statement is in a *separate*.conf > file; i.e. using the "Include" statement.
