php-extension

How do I test to see if the FreeType extension is installed on a server running PHP? I wanted to make a simple CAPTCHA system on my site, so I used imagettftext() and it worked fine. But what if the server didn't have the FreeType library installed? So is there a way to somehow detect FreeType library through code, and if it is not present, fall back to something like imagestring() ? If I can't use imagettftext() I may have to look at alternatives to draw big font text as the imagestring max size isn't good for something like a CAPTCHA. Norm Use function_exists : if (function_exists(

I have a Symfony 2 project on a shared host. And apparently provider won't switch the Intl extension on for PHP. Is there a way to turn it on or am I forced to reevaluate the whole project? If your web server doesn't provide the intl extension, you can use the Locale component. It can be easily installed with composer or using the Git repository . Source : http://symfony.com/doc/master/components/locale.html UPDATE The Locale component is deprecated since version 2.3 and will be removed in Symfony 3.0. You should use the Intl component instead ( http://symfony.com/doc/master/components/intl

I am trying to install a 3rd party PHP extension (.so) into PHP 5.3.6-13 on Ubuntu 11.10 and use it in a web environment. The vendor's documentation suggests using the dl() function to dynamically load the library. When I try their example code, I find the dl() isn't available (Fatal error: call to undefined function dl()) as dl() function was deprecated in PHP 5.3. But there is an enable_dl config rule in php.ini, and other sources say that I should be able to use dl() simply by changing the php.ini variables ( enable_dl=On , safe_mode=Off , not listed in disable_functions ) and restarting

Edit: Revising My Question When building an external PHP module in C, how do I link shared objects? If your C extension code uses a shared library, you need to declare that in the config.m4 file. I strongly recommend using the ext_skel script that's included in the PHP source to generate a skeleton config.m4: ./ext_skel --extname=myextension Since you're linking to a library, by convention you should use the --with-myextension options (as opposed to --enable-myextension ). Uncomment the relevant lines in the config.m4 and fill in the details of your lib. Something like the following: # --with
