How Do I Install cURL?

[TStriker]

I have PHP loaded on a Windows 2003 server running IIS. I'm trying to access a page that uses cURL. I know that cURL is not loaded (maybe there, but not enabled) because php_info() displays info but nothing concerning cURL.

I'm a real PHP rookie so the plainly obvious to you is not necessarily plainly obvious to me. I have php loaded on the server in a folder c:\php. In that folder is the ext folder and in there is a file named php_curl.dll. Does this mean that curl is there just not enabled?

I altered the php.ini file so that it has this entry:

extension_dir = "./ext/"

And after that I restarted the World Wide Web Publishing service but that had no effect.

Where am I going wrong? Have I missed something big?

A bit more info:

I did a php.exe -i at the command prompt on the server and it returned this:

cURL support => enabled
cURL Information => libcurl/7.14.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8d zlib/1.2.3

Which makes me think it is enabled but... when I use the php_info() function from a .php page, it has no reference to cURL at all.

Does this sound right?

Mr. Striker,

You shouls check to see if the proper php.ini file is loading.

You know what, it wasn't. The problem was that the wrong php.ini file was loading. Thanks for your help Mr. Striker!
