thanks,but document say's dl() is not supported in multithreaded Web servers
form php5.3.0 php not relase isapi in binary pack.It's means that php
never support isapi module? If answer is yes,i have another question.

yes. you can't use dl() in server-modules.
the reasoning for this is quite simple. server-processes are persistent and if you load something via dl() it stays in server-process even after request is finished.
which can lead to security problems, as other users of the server will have this user-loaded extension too.

to load extensions in such environments you need to use php.ini

Can I use dl() in Web servers with CGI module ?

yes, you can. these are restarted after each request, so it is safe

I'm sorry for my bad english and puerilely question about dl().
I'm coded with php for several years,but never use dl before:(.

no problem.
remember to use "reply to all" when writing to mailing-lists in future, or lists won't get your replies.

it is disabled in mod_php and similar SAPIs. It is still available in CLI and CGI
