check for required php-extensions

I was asking myself if it is possible to check php files for required extensions like php-gd or php-xml. I'd like to identify all prerequisites to run a certain script.

I hope anyone can help.

Thanks in advance.

  • You can use extension_loaded:

    if(extension_loaded('gd'))
{
    echo 'GD Library found';
}

    Alternatively, you can use get_loaded_extensions(), which will return an array.
