If you don't have root, you probably can't move it to the suitable place. Otherwise, any bozo could install and .so file into the PHP binary, which could do anything at all to the PHP process, including hack all kinds of nasty functions to, say, dump ALL incoming GET/POST data whose variable name looks like "*cc*" or "*credit*" or "*card*" out to some email address... That said, if your host is a bit lax in security, you might be able to use DL to LOAD your .so file into your script: http://php.net/dl Note that 'dl' is probably going away in PHP 6, last I heard. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
