Package: php5
Version: 5.2.5-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

It isn't a debian bug, but a known feature of 5.2.5 that mostly disables the dl() function from 
working properly.  Prior to 5.2.5, the dl() function could load user modules at run-time, rather than 
installing them site-wide in the php.ini.

I don't know how widespread the use of ioncube loader (or other dl() libs) so perhaps it doesn't 
matter, but I hadn't expected 5.2.5 to be an interesting release.

The fix is to copy the loader file to a known location, and then add this line to your 
/etc/php5/conf.d/ioncube.ini

zend_extension = /usr/local/lib/php5/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
