## #15946 — Piotr Roszatycki — 2005-04-11T15:57:47+00:00

I wonder why extension_dir couldn't seek the modules in more that one 
directory. All known interpreters (perl, ruby, python) can read modules from 
the different directories. The layout is usually:

/usr/lib/php - system modules installed from package
/usr/local/lib/php - manually installed modules

My proposition is to extend extension_dir setting and allow to set the 
directories separated with colon sign.
