+[[!meta title="How do I enable additional PHP extensions?"]]
+Several PHP extensions are installed on the scripts servers, but
+not enabled by default. (Since most scripts do not use these
+extensions, this saves startup time and memory.) You can load any
+of these extensions by creating a text file called `php.ini` in the
+same directory as your PHP script, and adding a line with:
+
+> **extension =**[extension name]**.so**
+
+one line for each extension you want to enable.
+
+Note that this will override some settings in the global php.ini —
+most importantly, this will cause magic\_quotes\_gpc to turn
+**on**! You should make sure that your application unsets this
+option, or set **magic\_quotes\_gpc = no** in your own php.ini
+file.
+
+The following are the extensions installed on the scripts servers,
+with links to more information about them from the PHP website.
