This is definitely a bug. According to PHP 5.3 documentation, dl should work, at least for CLI, CGI and Embed. Pease read the PHP documentation. The PHP 5.3 documentation for "dl" says: This function now throws an E_DEPRECATED notice on all sapi's except for CLI, CGI and Embed. Also, the PHP 5.3 change log "http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php" says: Changed dl() to be disabled by default. Enabled only when explicitly registered by the SAPI. Currently enabled with cli, cgi and embed SAPIs. (Dmitry) So the above clearly says dl should work on CLI, CGI and Embed SAPI. I am testing using CGI, and it does not work. Therefore it is a bug. Furthermore, from the PHP documentation on dl, the E_DEPRECATED is only a "notice", not an error. So dl should work in all other SAPI as well.

It is as if the "dl" function does not exist in PHP any more. This has been tested using "php-cgi.exe" VC6 and on IIS on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP, and using "php-cgi.exe" VC9 on IIS on Windows XP. However, when using "php.exe" or "php-cgi.exe" in a DOS shell interactively, the "dl" function works normally. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php dl("any_name.dll"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- If the DLL is loaded successfully, no message is expected. Otherwise, some meaningful error message is expected. Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined function dl() in C:\Inetpub\Scripts\phpinfo.php on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48819&edit=1
