Hi!

I had to hack a little to be able to add curl to my php installation
WITHOUT recompiling it with --with-curl.

Now, it's working.

But, as a php newbie, I would like to ask you if you know why if
I load curl.so in php.ini with extension=curl.so it works most of the
times, but on a few rare occasions the server apache 1.3.19 fails to
start/ or starts without answering http requests. (ok as long as I
don't restart the machine to often)

On the other hand, if I use dl() to load the curl.so from inside the
php script, sometimes (10%), the httpd thread answering it crashes with
something like:
[Sun Jun 17 20:20:45 2001] [notice] child pid 15027 exit signal Bus
error (10)
or
[Sun Jun 17 20:20:52 2001] [notice] child pid 15108 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)

Any ideias ? Is it a normal thing when using dl() ? Is it a curl.so
problem ? Could it be that my little hack is creating this problems ?

little hack: even after php without curl rpm is installed, and curl rpm
too,
untar source tree of php,
configure --with-curl=shared,
cd ext/curl
make
cp ../../modules/curl.so /var/lib/php4

Shouldn't it work ok or NOT work at all ?
Is the dl() mechanism safe with curl.so ?

Thank you.
