Enabling the extension

The best way to enable the extension is to create an ini file.

php -i | grep "dir for additional .ini files"

# Create a new .ini file for the extension
echo "extension=ds.so" > /path/to/ini/files/30-ds.ini

You can also enable the extension temporarily using the command line:

php -d extension=ds.so
