[RESOLVED] <b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in ....

[roteee]

I'm trying to test cURL function with a very very simple code:

<?php
// file name : test.php
// create a new curl resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.phpbuilder.com/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);

// close curl resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>

And run this script with :

$ php -f test.php

Then PHP said:

<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in <b>test.php</b> on line <b>3</b><br />

I go to see phpinfo and found :

curl
CURL support : enabled

CURL Information : libcurl/7.10.6 OpenSSL/0.9.7a ipv6 zlib/1.1.4

What's going on with my web server. And how to solve this?

😕 😕 😕

It's possible that you have two versions of PHP installed on your server: one with cURL enabled and the other without. When you're calling "php" from the command line, it's probably calling the wrong one...that's what happens to me sometimes on my machine, since I have XAMPP and a PHP CLI installed separately.

Wow, thanks a lot,Pieman86. Your suggestion is true. There're 2 PHP in my machine. One cURL enabled but one not.

Thank you very much. This's very very helpful.
