PHP function dl() – Loads a PHP extension at runtime
<?php
// Example loading an extension based on OS
if (!extension_loaded('phpsolutions')) {
if (strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3)) === 'WIN') {
dl('php_phpsolutions.dll');
} else {
dl('phpsolutions.so');
}
}
// Or, the PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX constant is available as of PHP 4.3.0
if (!extension_loaded('phpsolutions')) {
$prefix = (PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX === 'dll') ? 'php_' : '';
dl($prefix . 'phpsolutions.' . PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX);
}
?>We can use linux “nm” or “objdump” command to list symbols in object files…
# nm -C phpsolutions.so
# objdump -s phpsolutions.so
