Extensions enabled
Finding which extensions are enabled
Below is a list of the php extensions enabled by default on the pkgsrc template.
admin$ php -m
[PHP Modules] ctype curl date dom filter gd hash iconv json libxml mbstring mcrypt mysql openssl pcre Reflection session SimpleXML SPL standard tokenizer xml xmlreader xmlrpc xmlwriter xsl zlib [Zend Modules]
Extensions have their .so files located under '/opt/local/lib/php/20040412'.
Enabling a PHP extension
If an extension is not enabled one can take a look at your accelerators php.ini file (pkgsrc accelerators this in /opt/local/etc/php.ini) and find the line like ';extension=apc.so' and remove the ; infront of the line to enable apc, save the file and restart apache via 'sudo svcadm restart http'.
