     <function>phpinfo</function> or if you're using the
     <literal>CGI</literal> or <literal>CLI</literal> version of

     <para>
      <function>extension_loaded</function> 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 extension
      available which also use uppercase letters. Be warned that this
      function compares <emphasis role="strong">case sensitive</emphasis> !
