Activating an extension.

Post by JellyFish »

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.http.php

My ISP said they had this php extension install on the shared server, but that I need to write a .htaccess file that enables it. Have any of you ever heard of something like this?

Since I'm on a shared hosting service I need to say in my htaccess file that I would like to enable the php extension. I have to do this because not everyone on my shared server wants this extension enabled.

This makes sense but have you guys every done this before, or would you know how to write such an htaccess file. I have no clue on where to look so google is of no help right now.

Thanks for reading this post. All help on this is very, very much appreciated. :D

Last I checked .htaccess has little to no control over it. It definitely can't make PHP load an extension. It may be able to enable the extension, but it must already be loaded.

This has nothing to do with PHP Code. Moved to Installation.

Nevermind guys, I found out that it was a misunderstanding with my ISP. I knew it sounded to funky to be real.

You might want to post what the misunderstanding was. Someone else may end up with this problem and need this information to take to their ISP.
