Changelog

Version Description
5.0.0 extension_loaded() uses the internal extension name to test whether a certain extension is available or not. Most internal extension names are written in lower case but there may be extensions available which also use uppercase letters. Prior to PHP 5, this function compared the names case sensitively.

The explanation above renders this function useless.
I can check phpinfo() to determine the name of the extension.

If it's in the display that proves that it's loaded.

If not, I might know the dll name (php_printer.dll) but I don't know the name of the extension.
