Now after two years: same situation for PHP5? I could really use
something like this (also for a more modular system).

This is technically almost impossible without rewriting the whole
engine.

This bug was submitted about a year ago, but no any developer comments
are still available. According to comments, added by other PHP
programmers - this feature is quite important.
Will we ever have a chance to know if such funtcionality is planned
for implementation?

Possible (even though not particularily good) workaround is to
"register" (put them in say global array, which maps class/function
names to filenames) your "dynamic libraries" where you would normally
want to load them. Then where ever you want to access dynamically
loaded classes/functions, first include file containing it/them.
This works only when you don't really _have_to_ access global
namespace. I used this approach on a system where config files
scattered all over the filesystem (like apache's .htaccess) can locally
change behaviour of my system and add features (register new "handlers"
etc). Instead of actually loading these configs only register new
features and loading is performed only when I need to instantiate a
"dynamically loaded" class.

I had to change my developement tool due to lack of the possibility to
create dynamically loadable (php) modules (with php). PHP just could't
do what I wanted. Just as Kevin said, this is critical feature in
modular systems.

for modular installations this type of feature is critical. The
alternatives are the code you see produced in *nuke type cms system. I
really leaves php lacking
