What you say is correct, but the last sentence seems to contradict the following solution to the same type of problem:

If you read the solution at the end of the thread, you'll notice that all what was needed is change a setting in php.ini.

If I place my own php.ini under my home directory, then in essence I do have control over this. To make such decision, however, I need to know first whether my host's solution was in php.ini or something in the installation of that .so library.

I am still baffled by the fact that while this script couldn't run by PHP, the entire Zen Cart functioned perfectly. How is this possible? Either PHP is broken or not.
