Dynamic Loading

scollo · Guest

Hello,

I'm trying to dynamically load a library in my PHP script.

When I tried:

dl ("test.php3");

I received the message:

Fatal error: Unable to load dynamic library './test.php3' - (then some random characters) invalid ELF header...

I checked my php3.ini file. Experimentally, I've added the lines:

enable_dl=On; extension=test.php3;

But I still get the "invalid ELF header".

What is an ELF header?
What am I doing wrong?
How can I fix it?

Well, I now see that I need require() or include() instead of dl().

Live and learn.
