 From INSTALL:

 {{{
      And you'll need to load the Xapian module in your PHP code using
 something
      like:

      dl("../../../home/USERNAME/my_php_extensions/xapian.so");

      The number of ".."s you need depends on what extension_dir is set to
      in php.ini.
 }}}

 But the dl() is only allowed to contain a filename since PHP 5.2.5
 (otherwise it is ignored):

 {{{
 Warning: dl(): Temporary module name should contain only filename in ...
 }}}

 I don't get dynamic loading to work. My "hack" is to get root and copy the
 xapian.so to the EXTENSION_DIR and break the "Installing without root
 access".
