php can not load extension

Question

I have...

1.compiled and made ssh2.so.

2.placed the PHP extension (ssh2.so) in the "extension_dir"

3.been editing the correct php.ini file (extension=ssh2.so), the file "Loaded Configuration File" entry listed in the phpinfo() output.

4.restarted apache server.

but, "php -m" prints no ssh2 module.

any idea?

Restarting Apache has no effect on 'php -m' and if the module failed loading it would tell you why if you set the display_startup_errors to On — Ja͢ck

What happens with get_loaded_extensions() - does that reveal it? There's also extension_loaded() to test. Finally, you can try loading with dl() at run time? — Robbie

For php -m to show the ssh2 module, you have to edit the CLI php.ini for that.

There are generally TWO php.ini, one for Apache module and the other for the CLI version of PHP.

In Ubuntu, you will edit /etc/php5/cli/php.ini, but YMMV

Oh, and the syntax is very much the same, so a copy-paste should do the job.

Hope this helps !

It is not php -m that you want to do but rather to create a php file in your web site containing:

<?php
    phpinfo();
?>

Accessing this via Apache will show you what modules are loaded. You may want to configure Apache to secure access to this.

The question says he tried this, and it was good. Just php -m that didn't show.
