Subject: Loading PHP Files from a PHP Extension
From: dragonwing@dragonu.net (Jacob Santos)

I'm not sure if this is the right list, because well, it isn't Internal to PHP 
and isn't it helping with PHP in any way. Regardless, I've been searching for 
many of hours and I would like an answer. (PS: There aren't very many people 
outside of this list who knows the answer to my question anyway.)

Anyway, I remember once upon a time a PHP extension which loaded PHP files 
within the PHP extension MINIT or RINIT function. I had thought it was SPL which 
did this, but I appear to be wrong. Searching for material on the subject only 
brings up generic PHP Extension writing.

I also believe I bought this up before on the mailing list and it was answered 
before. However, searching for my name doesn't bring up very many results (which 
may or may not be a good thing).

If anyone knows of a resource to include PHP files within an extension during 
MINIT or RINIT, then I would love to know how it is done or even if it can be 
done. If anyone remembers an extension which does this already, please can you 
let me know?

I thought that php_execute_script() might work, but from the Extending and 
Embedding PHP book, it is used within the context of Embedding and not Extending 
PHP.
