The examples below use the following test.php script:
<?= extension_loaded('Zend OPcache') ? "OPcache loaded\n" : "OPcache NOT loaded\n";The -d zend_extension option accepts either a file name with or without the .so extension, or an absolute path:
$ php -n -d zend_extension=opcache test.php
OPcache loaded
$ php -n -d zend_extension=opcache.so test.php
OPcache loaded
$ php -n -d zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20230831/opcache.so test.php
OPcache loaded
The -z option, on the other hand, does not seem to accept a file name:
$ php -n -z opcache test.php
Failed loading opcache: opcache: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
OPcache NOT loaded
$ php -n -z opcache.so test.php
Failed loading opcache.so: opcache.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
OPcache NOT loaded
It does not complain when passing an absolute path, but still does not load the extension:
$ php -n -z /usr/lib/php/20230831/opcache.so test.php
OPcache NOT loaded
Furthermore, its behaviour becomes really strange when you specify both -d zend_extension and -z:
$ php -n -d zend_extension=opcache -z opcache test.php
Failed loading opcache: opcache: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
OPcache loaded
$ php -n -d zend_extension=opcache.so -z opcache.so test.php
Cannot load Zend OPcache - it was already loaded
OPcache loaded
$ php -n -d zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20230831/opcache.so -z /usr/lib/php/20230831/opcache.so test.php
Cannot load Zend OPcache - it was already loaded
OPcache loaded
In the last 2 runs, it now says that the extension was already loaded, even though specifying -z alone did not load the extension.
Is the -z argument broken? Should it be removed from php, as it's redundant with -d zend_extension anyway?
