Curl must be compiled into PHP...First get and compile curl and then compile php. Also if your system is behind a firewall and you are using curl be sure to have the appropriate ports open. Be careful on the versions of curl and php. -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-admin@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Phil Mattison Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 1:25 PM To: PLUG List Subject: Re: Adding CURL to PHP Is it possible that you have to edit your php.ini to include the module? --------------- I don't think that will do it. Everything I have seen says you have to recompile PHP. Just for grins I tried what you suggested, i.e. installed curl-devel and copied the libcurl.so file into the etc/php/extensions directory, and added an ini file to load it same way as mysql and others, but no luck. It didn't seem to break anything, but cURL still doesn't show up in phpinfo(). The problem seems to be that when I rebuild PHP I get a standalone version of PHP that works from the command line but is not linked to apache. I can execute "php -i > info.html" on the command line and the resulting phpinfo output shows that cURL is installed, but running phpinfo() via a script on apache shows cURL is not installed. Evidently the build process is not creating the mod_php4.so file that is used by apache, and I don't see how to do it. All the instructions I can find online are either cryptic or inconsistent.
