Do I need /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini

I've had PFSense for a while, and through the upgrades I started getting messages on ssh and the console about # being deprecated in /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini .

While troubleshooting a default gateway issue, I installed a new copy of PFSense on a VM. On the new VM I noticed the file didn't exist. This was after I installed the same packages I had on my PFSense box I currently use.

When I noticed that the file wasn't needed on a vanilla install with the same packages installed, I did a quick test of renaming the file. After a reboot the issue I had with messages showing in SSH and the console disappeared.

Off hand I can only think the contents of the file were for some old version of PFSense or package I no longer have installed. But, I am unsure. Below is the contents of the extensions file. Can anyone shed some light on this file, and an idea if there are any negative consequences?

Thanks in advance

That isn't content that should have ever been in extensions.ini. Not sure where that came form, looks like source from some other program.

You can rm /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini and then from the console menu use option 16. If anything is needed for PHP to run, that will fix it up.
