Check your /usr/local/etc/php.ini file and make sure that the
'extension_dir' property is commented out:

    ; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
    ; extension_dir = "./"

If you're running using mod_php4, make sure to restart apache so that
changes to php.ini are picked up.

That will let PHP use the correct, compiled in value (which should be
/usr/local/lib/php/20020429 for PHP4, or /usr/local/lib/php/20040412
for PHP5) All of your extensions should be visible in that directory
as dynamically loadable .so shared objects.

        Cheers,

        Matthew
