Problem with curl_init() - PHP Fatal Error

Kinsbane

So I'm using curl to submit people who subscribe to a mailing list that is handled by a different company, so we need to use curl to put the data into their system.

Problem is, when a user wants to subscribe, I get this error:
[17-Jul-2006 15:48:59] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /home/webserver/subscribe2.php on line 52

However, I looked in the PHP manual and the function is in there! And I know our PHP version has curl available. I don't know what to do!

Simply put, your host doesn't support that function.
To check what is available, do this on a new PHP page:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Doh! It appears you are right.. needed the curl lib installed.

Sorry for any uproar I might've caused! :o

Don't woory. There was no uproar. Anyway, I'm not sure you can install something like that, as it has to be part of the server. You can request your host to install it though. There are other ways to input data though without using CURL.
