Extensions

The Action bar is located in the top-left corner of the page, and is used to enable or disable selected extensions, and to search for extensions and directives:

Name	Button	Description
Save		Saves changes made to extensions and their related directives.
Enable		Turns an extension on.
Disable		Turns an extension off.
Search box		Searches the page for the entered string.

Extensions are displayed in a list and sorted into columns. The information for each listed extensions is sorted into columns:

• Name- The extension name.
• Status- The status of the extension:
  • - Extensions that are part and parcel of the Zend Server PHP stack and therefore cannot be disabled.
  • - Extensions that are currently turned on.
  • - Extensions that are currently turned off.
  • - Extensions that are in error state.
  • - Extensions that are pending restart of Zend Server.
• Version - The extension version.
• Description - A short description of the extension.
• Messages - Information regarding changes made to the extension.

Tip:

By default, the Extension list is sorted alphabetically by name, but can also be sorted by Status. To change the order of display, click the Status column title.

Selecting an extension from the list, or clicking the Expand View arrow on the right side of the extension line, expands the default viewing level and displays a more detailed description of the selected extension, and any available directives. For information on configuring these directives, see Configuring Extensions and Directives.

Note:

Some extensions do not have directives. If you select such an extension , a "There are no directives for this extension" message is displayed under the extension's description.

The Expanded view includes:

• A full description of the extension
• Directives tab - A list of directives and related configuration controls:
  

  Name	Control	Description
  Value field		Enter a required value.
  Slide control		Slide to turn directive on or off.
  Drop-down menu		Click and select required value.

• Messages tab - A list of extension-related messages (e.g., The directive 'bcmath.scale' value has been changed from '0' to '1'). Appears only if there are messages to be viewed.
