[Freeswitch-users] ESL PHP error

[Admin]

I am getting the following error when trying to test an inbound
connection to FS using ESL with PHP. 

---------------------------------------------------------------
> php test.php 
PHP Warning:  dl(): Dynamically loaded extensions aren't enabled
in /usr/share/php/ESL.php on line 22
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function new_ESLconnection()
in /usr/share/php/ESL.php on line 155
----------------------------------------------------------------

The installation (make phpmod-install) went just fine with no errors.
It copied ESL.so to '/usr/lib/php5/20131226' and created esl.ini under
"/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/esl.ini"

I had ESL php working last year when I was testing a php application.
But then I was running Debian 7.1 and PHP 5.5.

Now i am using the following:
FreeSWITCH Version 1.4.20+git~20150703T164215Z~b95362f965~64bit
PHP 5.6.9-0+deb8u1 (cli) 
Debian 8.1 64-bit

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.
