I also will miss 'dl' big-time, as I sometimes load in obscure
libraries that my webhost does not provide, with their permission to
do so, and with the understanding that if the libs cause problems, I
have to be ready to live without them.
There was a thread recently on Internals about possibly not killing
this feature, but I don't think it had much support.
The guys making the decisions don't use shared hosts, for the most
part, and so few people need 'dl, so they don't feel any pressing need
for 'dl' :-(
Alas, it's something that has no user-land work-around, really...
Though I guess you could use PHP to exec CLI PHP with a custom php.ini
to then do whatever it is you wanted to do, passing all the data back
and forth from web php to cli php... Ugh.
You have exactly the same problem as i have. My shared hosting has
safe_mode off en dl on, so i could load them :)
But i don't have access to write to the php.ini file.
Maybe we should create such workaround as you provided? Some script
that uses PHP CLI to load dynamic objects. That would be useful for
people that use shared hosting, like you and me :)
