Displaying a loggable error during PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION and suppressing the loading of the module. View as Markdown

Hi.

I can use return FAILURE during PHP_MINIT_FUNCTION to stop a module
from loading and the appropriate message is displayed ...

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'xxxxxx' -
The specified module could not be found.
in Unknown on line 0

I want to restrict the module to only operate within the CLI SAPI.
Using config.w32, I've limited the module to windows only.

I can test the sapi ...

if (strcmp(sapi_module.name, "cli") != 0) {
	return FAILURE;
}

But I'd like to explain why the module cannot be loaded.

I've tried using zend_error() and php_error_docref() but I guess the
system isn't ready yet for these errors.

How do I generate an error (warning level I suppose), that will be
logged in the error log file.

Richard.
