[TYPO3-core] RFC #15075: feature: make a pre-check for required php-extensions

[Jigal van Hemert]

Hi,

This is a SVN patch request.

Type: Feature

BT reference: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=15075

Branches: trunk

Problem:
TYPO3 needs a series of PHP modules to function. These modules are 
included in default PHP installations, but in case a server uses a 
custom configuration of PHP some of these modules might be missing.
This will lead to all kinds of error messages.

Solution:
Add a test in the 1-2-3 installer which checks if the modules are 
compiled with PHP. If one or more tests fail the script aborts with a 
message showing the module(s) which are missing.

How to test:
Recompile PHP without one or more of the following modules:
filter, gd, json, mysql, pcre, session, spl, xml parser, zlib.
Simulation: modify the checks in tx_install::getMissingPHPModules()
