I had the assumption that, when running PHP as Apache module in a
Windows box, trying to load an invalid extension (e.g., a missing DLL
file) would prevent Apache from loading. I've just tested in my own PC
(Windows XP, PHP/5.3.3 as Apache/2.2.8 module) and that's how it is; I
write this...
extension=php_does_not_exist.dll
.... and Apache will no longer start.
However, in the system of a client (Windows 2003 Server, PHP/5.2.9-2
running as Apache/2.2.11 module) that's not true. Missing DLLs are
logged but that's all: Apache starts normally and missing extensions are
simply not available.
What piece of knowledge am I missing?

Maybe that you should be asking in an Apache newsgroup?

Or maybe in "comp.infosystems.www". Why not? PHP won't be more off-topic
there than in your suggestion.

Ah, you're loading a PHP extension - not an Apache extension. My mistake.
It looks like your client's system is working correctly (see bug 37428,
fixed in PHP 5.1.4) and your system may have a bug.

Yep, that sounds sensible. Perhaps they fixed it in PHP/5.1 and broke it
again some releases later...
