I've been having some problems building some modules or embedding the  
function in PHP.

I've attempted to build several different modules and all give the same  
results.

If I build as a module, placing an 'extension='  entry in php.ini  
causes a dylib error.

dyld: /usr/sbin/httpd Undefined symbols:
__array_init
__convert_to_string
__efree
__emalloc
__estrdup
__estrndup
_add_assoc_long_ex
_add_next_index_double
_add_next_index_string
_convert_to_array
_convert_to_long

Without the 'extension='  entry in php.ini, placing an entry in my php  
script "dl('module.so');" results in the following log entry:

[Fri Feb  4 06:12:38 2005] [error] PHP Warning:  module:  Unable to  
register functions, unable to load in Unknown on line 0

________________________________________________________________________

If I use this entry in my php script, the module functions work  
properly.

if (!function_exists('my_function') && @dl('module.so')) {
  }

Is there anything specific I need to do for Mac OSX to build modules or  
embed them in PHP so they work properly?

Make sure it was compiled as a bundle and not as a shared library. There
is a difference. Run this:

  % file <path>

And if it replies "Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc", it was
compiled in the wrong way. The latest updates to build system should fix
this automatically.
