PHP modules are extensions mostly written in C language. They can be compiled with PHP to enable static loading<\/a> (as part of the binary file) or dynamic loading<\/a> (with the php.ini<\/a> directive: extension<\/a>=modulename.so).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are different types of modules \u2013 core extensions<\/a>, bundled extensions that are still part of the PHP package<\/a> and fully external extensions<\/a>. The last ones are not part of the PHP core and not included in the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shared hosting<\/a> and Managed VPS<\/a> servers by SuperHosting.BG support a vast number of PHP modules<\/a>. Some of them are static and do not require activation to start being used. To enable PHP dynamically loading modules, you need to access cPanel\u00a0\u00bb PHP Manager by SuperHosting\u00a0\u00bb PHP modules management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0phpinfo<\/a>\u00a0function allows you to view all statically loading modules. All content from the Configure Command field, starting with –enable or –with is a compiled PHP module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dynamically loading modules (modulename.so) can be viewed in cPanel \u00bb PHP Manager by SuperHosting<\/strong> \u00bb PHP modules management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PECL Extensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a repository for PHP extensions called PECL<\/a> (P<\/strong>HP E<\/strong>xtension C<\/strong>ommunity L<\/strong>ibrary). Other PHP extensions exist, as they are different from PECL, but PECL is the official repository for the most popular and widely used PHP extensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help documentation for PECL extensions is available on the official PHP website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some PECL extensions have been integrated in the PHP core, i.e. filter (pecl<\/a>\/php.net<\/a>), json (pecl<\/a>\/php.net<\/a>), xmlreader (pecl<\/a>\/php.net<\/a>) and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PECL modules differ from PEAR packages<\/a>, although they use the same distribution system (PEAR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
