What are the potential pitfalls of using dl() to load needed PHP extensions at runtime?

Potential pitfalls of using dl() to load needed PHP extensions at runtime include security risks, as it allows arbitrary code execution, and compatibility issues with different PHP versions. To solve this issue, it is recommended to statically link the extensions when compiling PHP or use the php.ini file to load the extensions at startup.

// Example of loading extensions using php.ini

// Add the following line to your php.ini file
extension=example.so
