Enabling cURL

Kerant

Sorry to hijack this thread a bit, but I'm trying to install the Zend shopping cart on my Apache server and it is saying that cURL is not enabled.

I can't for the life of me get it to be enabled.

I am using Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.6, and I'm on Windows Vista.

Mostly people seem to say you just have to un-comment the cURL extension line in the PHP.ini... but there is no mention of it in my PHP.ini file.

Can anybody please help me?

Thanks a lot.

There isn't a section in your php.ini file labeled "Dynamic Extensions" ? Example:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Dynamic Extensions ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
; If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following
; syntax:
;
;   extension=modulename.extension
;
; For example, on Windows:
;
;   extension=msql.dll
;
; ... or under UNIX:
;
;   extension=msql.so
;
; Note that it should be the name of the module only; no directory information 
; needs to go here.  Specify the location of the extension with the
; extension_dir directive above.


; Windows Extensions
; Note that ODBC support is built in, so no dll is needed for it.
; Note that many DLL files are located in the extensions/ (PHP 4) ext/ (PHP 5)
; extension folders as well as the separate PECL DLL download (PHP 5).
; Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.

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

There is, but there is no extensions listed, and no mention of cURL. See below.

Do you have an 'ext' directory inside your main PHP directory? Are there "php_*.dll" files in there?

The only file in the 'ext' directory is 'php_mysql.dll' . ::queasy:

Sounds like you used the MSI installer, or something odd happened. I'd recommend downloading the .zip package and extracting the 'ext' directory from it.
