PHP Extensions List

PHP has lots of extensions and many are loaded by defaults based on PHP version you are using.

I was just reading about this PHP function get_loaded_extensions(), which gives you list of PHP extensions loaded in your installation and thought of writing this post.

To get list of available PHP extensions, follow these URLS:

• List PHP extensions by Categories,
• List PHP Extensions by Alphabetical Order,
• PHP Extensions List which tells about the default enabled extensions on various platform (Window, Linux, and MAC OS).

Now, PHP code to list loaded extensions in your PHP installation:

PHP Extensions List

<?php
echo "<h1>PHP Extensions List (loaded extensions only):</h1>";
echo "<p><strong> My PHP installation version: " . PHP_VERSION . '</strong><br>';
echo 'Click on the links get information about each extension's functions. </p>';
function extensionFunctions($ext)
{
    $extFuncs = get_extension_funcs($ext);
    while(list($fid, $fname) = each($extFuncs))
    {
        echo " - " . ($fid + 1) . " $fname <br>";
    }
}
echo "| <a href='$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]'>Extensions Only</a> | <a href='$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]?expand=*'>Expand functions</a> |<br>";
$loaded = get_loaded_extensions();
while(list($id, $name) = each($loaded)) {
    echo "<b>" . ($id + 1) . ". <a href='$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]?expand=$name#$name'><span id=$name>$name</span></a></b><br>";
    $expand = $_GET['expand'];
    if(isset($expand)) {
         if($expand == $name || $expand == "*") {
            extensionFunctions($name);
         }
    }
}
?>
