A PHP extension is the PHP agent. The PHP agent is loaded and the newrelic.ini configuration file is parsed when your web server starts up and loads PHP. Until the web server is directed to reload and parse configuration files, it uses that configuration. The web server is prompted to do so when you restart it.
You're not sure why or when you'll need to restart your web server (Apache, PHP-FPM, Nginx, or something else) after:
Installing or updating the PHP agent is the first step.
2. Bringing PHP up to date to a major release version
3. Modifying the newrelic.ini or newrelic.cfg files to change any agent configuration parameters
4. Using the daemon's external startup mode
