Application A is hosted on a windows server. whilst Application B on a linux.

A posts form to B using simple HTML form for credit card approval, B replies back using form post at a specified URL at A, but always get an error on curl Could not Connect, any Ideas, any help very much appreciated am stuck on this for quite lots of days.

I have site C also that is on linux, and is also shopping site, C does the same process but does not get any error in receiving response back from A.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Please email me at s4shani83@hotmail.com

xampp userse:

for those pulling as much hair out as me, read this list to ensure you have all php.ini copies covered:

http://www.menyhart.net/blog/developer-stuff/enabling-curl-on-xampp/

why there’s not one I don’t know…

If you’ve just installed PHP5 on windows XP, the extension dir may be “extension_dir={your_php_dir}/ext”, and not “extensions”.

Thanks Tony!

Hello there.

If you want to install cURL on Windows, make sure that you’ve copied “php.ini” from the PHP folder (mine is currently “php-4.3.5-Win32″) to your SYSTEM or SYSTEM32 folder (I’m still on Win ME, so it’s SYSTEM). Open the copied version to the SYSTEM folder and look out for these lines:

  ; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
  extension_dir = “C:\php-4.3.5-Win32\extensions”

As you could see, just replace the VALUE of extension_dir to the full path (Windows-based PATH using BACK-slashes) of the folder “extensions” on your PHP folder.

Then copy all of these libraries (DLL’s) from the PHP folder into the SYSTEM folder:
  php4ts.dll,
  ssleay32.dll,
  php_curl.dll, (inside “extensions”)
  msvcrt.dll

I thought the last one should already be in the SYSTEM folder there

cURL can then be enabled by uncommenting the line ‘extension=php_curl.dll‘ in the php.ini file. Alternatively you can load the module dynamically in your script using:

<?php
dl(“php_curl.dll”);
?>

Create a simple PHP file that looks something like this:

<?php
echo phpInfo();
?>

… and save it as “phpInfo.php” or anything up to you. Then run it via your Web browser. If the cURL installation was done successfully and is now enabled, you’ll see the “curl” section from the page — mine is after “ctype and before “ftp“.

[Good Reference:

Woopss!

Sorry… I was in a bit hurry when I posted my first comment I’m pretty sure you can figure things I’ve ‘coded’ mistakenly like the <A&gt! Also the <br>s Heheheh…

So i don’t know how to install curl and configure this.please help me as soon as possible.
please give me the easy steps to go one by one.
Thanks very much.

Why turn register_globals on? This is a security risk and is not recommended. I got curl working fine with this setting off.

Sorry, I just don’t get it. I need to post information from a secure site to a secure site which will write the information into a database and return a reply. How do I get curl to do this. The example above worked but how do I post.

This worked but how do I post to something like this?

$url = “http://www.thinkgeek.com”;

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);

$returned = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

echo $returned;

Thanks, I am getting closer.

I fixed my

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init()

issue on WinXP.

I followed the instructions above but refused to
believe that you need to put the php.ini file in
the windows/system32 directory. After all, if you
put php before the windows & system32 entries in your path windows should load these first. Right?
I don’t know and right now don’t care. I
put the php.ini file (after all modifications as
outline et al above) into the windows/system32 directory. I then got curl showing up in a phpinfo.php.

whew!

I check everything about your chack-list and still have

PHP Startup : unable to load dynamic library ‘C:\php\ext\php_curl.dll’

i am with PHP 5.0.2 under Windows XP SP2

if you or anybody have an idea.

yes it does not work for me either, there is no php_cull.dll in tany directiory of that distribution as far as I can see

Just copied the php_curl file to php directory and uncommented extension=php_curl.dll and set globals on it worked on windows2000.
Thanks

Thanks everyone, esp. Eric\Pokerface…

My “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init()” error was resolved after I realized I was changing the wrong php.ini file. Who knows why there’s a separate on in my apache\bin directory. Maybe I put it there a long time ago or maybe XAMPP makes a copy there.

C:\Program Files\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini

Searching my xampp directory tree showed more than one php.ini file.
C:\Program Files\xampp>grep -idl php php.ini*
File apache\bin\php.ini
File php\php.ini
File php\php.ini-dist
File php\php.ini-recommended
File php\php4\php.ini
File php\php4\php.ini-dist
File php\php4\php.ini-recommended

I’m running PHP Version 5.0.4
Thanks everyone!

Thank you sally
Now my curl is working like a knife on a butter.
Thanx again bye.

hi,

that was really a great piece of work. excellent explanation. curl is now working fine.

thanks much

I want to upload a file using cURL.
I have installed zlib and libgcc packages.
But i m not getting an parse error.
So any one having code for it with explanation
Please reply

this worked for me — it is from the php manual (http://www.php.net/curl)

Note to Win32 Users: In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll must be present in your PATH.

You don’t need libcurl.dll from the cURL site.

How did you manage to set it up on Linux without compiling php? Please provide the steps.

Great Page.
But I was sitting behind a firewall and I had not set up the proxy. Thus whenever I executed the php script, I got a blank page!! Solution:
curl_setopt ($ch,CURLOPT_PROXY, “proxy_server:port”);

Also very good debug option: A must for beginners

print_r(curl_getinfo($ch));
echo “\n\ncURL error number:” .curl_errno($ch);
echo “\n\ncURL error:” . curl_error($ch);

Thanks works perfect!

hi,

thanks in advance.

For those that don’t work try this to see if you have the curl enable:

I had the php.ini file in the windows directory and was editing the php.ini on the php directory, and with that i found the problem.

i am using php5 with apache server on windowsXP my curl library is also enable but i am getting this error:

7 Failed to connect to xx.xxx.xxx.xx (ip): Permission denied

plz help me

Not sure if this will help anyone because it appears that everyone who has installed PHP, IIS, and cURL didn’t encounter any issues.

My issue was that everything worked, PHP, IIS, cURL, but not cURL under SSL even after adding “curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);” to my test script. The answer, found on the PHP.net site (“http://fr.php.net/curl”), use …

“curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);”

It works…

Easily worked for me…thanks !

hy … i installeted on that tutorial a xampp pack …and ” all`s greate ” but curl don`t running … isn`t in phpinfo is not a curl enable .. maby xamp pack don`t compil a php with curl ?

pls help me

Hello,
I have got PHP With IIS in win-XP.I am getting one error in the below program as follows.
“Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init()”

So i don’t know how to install curl and configure this.please help me as soon as possible.
please give me the easy steps to go one by one.
Thanks very much.

Thanks a lot, your instructions really helped me out of this one

A little note to all XAMPP users,
php.ini is not loaded from the file found in the php installation directory, but from apache/bin/php.ini

For those interested in just getting cURL capability going (perhaps because you already have PHP & Apache running but now need the curl stuff), just follow items 4&8 from the tutorial. the php_curl.dll won’t load (step until you perform step #4 when you restart the Apache server.

oh mate , that was awsome ,… how come u’r the only resource for this?

Can anyone help me get this working. I can’t get the curl module to load. I uncommented the line in the php.ini file and have the dlls in the system32 dir but, in phpinfo() the module does not show up.

Having same problem as g! above. Both copies of php.ini have been adjusted (one under c:\Program Files\PHP and one under c:\WINDOWS\system32), the Apache .conf file has been modified, the extension path has been set, etc., etc. but curl still refuses to load. Been working on this for 3+ days (pushing 30 hours). Oh yeah: Windows XP SPII, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.5, curl 7.18.1. Any obscure idea would help in this battle.

For some reason, Apache was not picking up the path for my php.ini file, but was looking in the C:WINDOWS/ folder for it. Another issue was that php was looking in c:php5/ext by default for my extensions. I placed the .ini folder in the C:WINDOWS/ folder and placed the ext folder in the default location and cURL loaded perfectly. This is only a short term solution, but at least it got me up and running. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I just did step #4 and uncommented the extensions for php_curl.dll and php_openssl.dll in the php.ini file; worked like a charm.

Like many of you, I had trouble installing CURL on a Windows Box running Apache and PHP. My exact setup is Windows XP with Apache 2.2.6, and PHP 5.2.6. (The latest releases of both.)

It seems to me that the new version of PHP does things a bit differently with respect to importing modules, and the instructions given here can’t really be applied to the current version of PHP without some modification. Obviously, I have no idea what these mods are, and you probably don’t either.

But, THERE IS A SOLUTION. When you install PHP via the .exe file, the default options are to install the program of PHP itself along with a few really common extensions. BUT, you can also install less commonly used extensions (like CURL) by simply checking them off under the little extensions box. I just did this and voila! – everything works.

No sense in killing yourself over this when the installer does it for you.

Good luck.

I have problem with the 9th step

- Uncomment: LoadModule php4_module (no line contains this string, so what have I to do. By the way I have added the following line(Tell me is it correct or not?)

LoadModule php4_module modules/mod_dir.so

d:/apps/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll(What is this?)
