Hi,<br />
<br />
You can try the following, but I never tested it:<br />
<br />
At top of page write:<br />
<br />
&lt;?<br />
/* You might set the absolute path where the extension exsists, like /home/user/extension/my_ex<wbr />t.so */<br />
ini_set(&quot;extension&quot;,&quot;php_g<wbr />d.so&quot;);<br />
<br />
?&gt;

Hi,

You can try the following, but I never tested it:

At top of page write:

<?
/* You might set the absolute path where the extension exsists, like /home/user/extension/my_ext.so */
ini_set("extension","php_gd.so");

?>

Hi!<br />
<br />
An extension cannot be loaded in this fashion, since it needs to restart the whole php engine in order to load an extension.<br />
For info on settings to change in this manner see:<br />

Is it possible to activate the php extensions php_curl.dll and php_gd.dll by appending .htaccess or another local file?<br />
<br />
I do not have access to /etc/php.ini and cannot uncomment the lines required to activate php extensions I require.<br />
<br />
There lines are:<br />
;extension=php_curl.dll<br />
;extension=php_gd.dll<br />
<br />
I know it's possible to override values set in /etc/php.ini by adding them to a the local file .htaccess.<br />
<br />
eg.<br />
php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0<br />
<br />
As far as I understand, the php server needs to be restarted in order for the extensions to be loaded. Maybe somebody out there knows a trick?<br />
