Finding the path to Curl using PHP

[dummy57]

Is there a way to find the path to curl using only PHP code? I'm using the exec() function currently and I need the path to do this correctly. If I were to use only curl functions (and leave out the exec function) would I need to know the path?

Assuming you've got cURL installed , you don't need to know the path, just use the [man]cURL[/man] functions.

Thanks, I'll give the regular curl functions a try. But what about the first part of the question? Is there a way to find the path to curl using only PHP?

assuming your not running BlueScreen OS ...

passthru ('which curl');

or if you want it in an variable:

$path=`which curl`;
echo $path;

works with (GNU|BSD|Unix)
