Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init()

PHP Code:

    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.cairoline.com/test.php");

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $url);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

Most likely curl support is not enabled.

You can check by creating a .php file with a phpinfo(); command in it. Browse to this and search/look for curl on the resulting page. If support is enabled, there will be a listing for it.

PHP Code:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

If this is with a hosting company, you will need to have them install/enable it.

If this is a Windows based system, CURL can be enabled by uncommenting the curl extension line in the php.ini file - extension=php_curl.dll and restarting the web server.

If this is Unix/Linux, PHP must be compiled with CURL support and the libcurl library must be installed.

There are 3 different versions of php.
php as a apache module
php-cli
php-cgi.

The one you want is php-cli (command line interface), which probably isn't compiled with curl support in your case.
A way around is to use wget.
* * * * * wget -bq -o /dev/null http://www.yoursite.com/script.php >/dev/null 2>&1

I just had this problem on Ubuntu.

I installed the php5-curl package ("sudo apt-get install php-curl")
Then I restarted the apache web server ("sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart")

Good luck!

- Open D:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini
- Remove the semi-colon in front of this line: extension=php_curl.dll
- Restart Apache

This problem arises because of not including the lib_curl.dll to PHP. To solve this uncomment the line as shown below

;extension=php_bz2.dll
extension=php_curl.dll
;extension=php_dba.dll



Now restart apache server.
If you get an error "Unable to Load X:/path/php/ext/php_curl.dll", copy

* SSLEAY32.PHP
* libEAY32.dll

(OpenSSL) Libraries to the System32 folder.

Now restart apache server and you are good to go.
