## #66987 — Julien Pauli — 2013-04-05T14:30:57+00:00

URL: https://externals.io/message/66987#66987

All is into the title.

A patch can be found here
https://github.com/jpauli/php-src/compare/remove_dl_php4_support

The idea is to get rid of those old stuff, like we did with session.compat
some time ago.
If you have ideas, improvements ...

Joe also talked about adding a header to the zend_module_entry struct, to
prevent us from hacking `dl()` like its been done for pre41.

Kalle also talked about a way to make extension load in a particular order,
the RFC is here : https://wiki.php.net/rfc/extensions_load_order
