Problem with PHP Extension

Sep 04 '12 at 13:16

hi, i have a web site.. and i like to use chilkat php extension (as my hosting server is Linux) but the problem is as my hosting account is a shared hosting account, and my hosting server (hostmonster.com) does not support installing third party extension..

so, i m out of way.. :(

can any one tell me any way to use chilkat component on my website using php?

best regards

You might try dynamically loading the PHP extension from your script:

<?php
// Example loading an extension based on OS
if (!extension_loaded('chilkat_9_3_2')) {
        dl('chilkat_9_3_2.so');
}
?>

I would recommend investigating PHP's "dl" function here: http://us3.php.net/dl
