using http functions in php

[kapitanluffy]

i have been searching for a solution for about a day already.

can anyone help me on how to use the http functions (if thats what it is called) in php?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.http.php

like for example. i need to use the http_get() function but it returns

Fatal error: Call to undefined function..

in the manual it says that i need to put php_http.dll on the ext dir and enable it in php ini like this..

extension=php_http.dll

..which i already did

im working under..
windows xp sp3
php 5.3.1

thanks guys 🙂

did you restart apache?

try confirming its active by calling phpinfo();

Is there any need to use those functions specifically? Perhaps there's an easier solution; can you describe what it is you're trying to do?
