I have followed all the instructions here: http://www.tonyspencer.com/2003/10/22/curl-with-php-and-apache-on-windows/
to install & config apache get the PHP5 packages and get the CURL packages.
I run the apache and run a PHP script. no problem. but when I run the php script with curl, it fails.
It returns: **Call to undefined function curl_version() in C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationApache2.2htdocstesting.php on line 5**
In which line 5 is a called to curl_init()
I output the php -i to see whether the right path to extension is called. It is correctly set:
extension_dir => C:PHPext => C:PHPext
cURL support => enabled
cURL Information => libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3
I even tried to run curl_version() but still, same kind of error comes up.
It looks like the PHP can't find the CURL extension, but the php.ini (and also php -i) shows that it is set.
any idea? :)
P.S> System I m running on:
Windows XP
Apache 2.2
PHP 5.2.6
CURL Win32 Generic Binaries: Win32 2000/XP metalink 7.19.0 binary SSL enabled Daniel Stenberg 249 KB
I didn't get this:
Win32 2000/XP 7.19.0 libcurl SSL enabled Günter Knauf 1.55 MB
Should I get this one instead?
The reason I need to use CURL is that it is the requirement from my project. So, I can only stick with that. XAMPP... how does it work in Windows? Is there any site that you can recommend? Thanks.
I have tried a lot of things on installing cURL and check everything, but still, I'm stilling circling around the problem and have no idea what's going on.
The Apache server uses the right PHP.ini. and the PHP.ini has the correct extension_dir and extension=php_curl.dll I have no idea why it doesn't work. even I follow every step for setting it up. :(
You're probably mistaking what PHP.ini you need to edit. first, add a PHPinfo(); to a info.php, and run it from your browser.
Write down the PHP ini directory path you see in the variables list now! You will probably notice that it's different from your PHP-CLI ini file.
Enable the extension
You're done :-)
