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

[Felix Kopp — PHORAX]

hi jigal,

why not use get_loaded_extensions()+array or extension_loaded('…')+ifs?

in this case a not loaded extension but user created function (somehow included, unlikely) would not return TRUE.

plus performance should be little faster due to less lookupsss.

warm regards,
felix*
