## #37785 — Michael B Allen — 2008-05-21T21:45:08+00:00

I provide an INI property to stop my extension from loading fully like:

    if (strcmp(sapi_module.name, "cli") == 0 &&
                INI_STR("plexcel.sapi.cli") &&
                INI_BOOL("plexcel.sapi.cli") == 0) {
        return;
    }

But the extension is still loaded. It's just not initialized.

Is there any way to abort within PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION or call a function
to remove the extension from the runtime such that calling
extension_loaded('plexcel') returns FALSE?

Mike

if you return FAILURE, it will not be loaded, but it will produce 
E_CORE_ERROR. If you don't like that I'd recommend to keep extension 
loaded but not register any functions, etc and write some descriptive 
stuff in `phpinfo()`.
