I copied and pasted the php_curl.dll windows binary for php 5.1.6 in to the php extensions folder and uncommented extension=php_curl.dll in the php.ini file.

I get Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() when I try to run.

What important little thing have I not done to enable the curl extension?

FatBob,
This might not be your specific issue, but you do need to make sure that your extensions and your PHP exe's have the same version number. That's caught me out a few times.

Thanks Andy,

I checked the version of php with phpinfo and it was 5.1.6 and then downloaded the dll binary from php.net for the corresponding version. What else could it be?

That's wierd.

The only thing I can think of that might help is to create a file

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Then run that and share the output. Maybe there's something we can spot together.

For the record, you've done exactly what I've done, plus I needed to copy libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll to the /php folder (not the extensions folder). However, I've just tested, and if I delete those files, I do not get the same error as you - I get an "application could not start" error.

Regards,
Andy

Is it OK to post a whole phpinfo file on here?

I have pm'd you a copy - Thanks

I added libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll to the /php folder but the result is, as you predicted, the same.

Got it.

Curl is not enabled, somehow.

You've got :

ctype
ctype functions enabled

** CURL SHOULD APPEAR HERE
** eg.
** cURL support enabled
** cURL Information libcurl/7.16.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8d zlib/1.2.3


date
date/time support enabled
Timezone Database Version 2006.1
Timezone Database internal
Default timezone Europe/London

Some things to do (very basic I admit - no offence intended!)

- Double check that the php_curl.dll is in C:\Program Files\nusphere\phpdock\php\extensions\

- Double check that in C:\Program Files\nusphere\phpdock\php\php.ini you have uncommented the line for PHP curl - did you save it OK

- Restart the application - after making sure that phpdock.exe is not running in the background via Windows Task Manager

Hope that helps,
Andy

Offence taken on the chin!!

I was using a different phpdock, so the php-cgi.exe location setting in the phpdock.ini needed to be changed.

Many thanks Andy, I accept the Doh award for the day.

You're turn for the award today.

My turn tomorrow.




Glad you got it sorted.
