PHP unable to load php_curl.dll extension

Question

Follow-up from my post yesterday (Enabling cURL with PHP)

The problem is that PHP isn\'t able to load php_curl.dll. I\'ve tried several steps including uncommenting

Answer 1

You are loading .dll so your OS has to be windows.

First check which php.ini file you are using by running phpinfo()

Then check where your extensions folder is by checking extension_dir attribute in that file.

Next make sure that php_curl.dll is present in that folder. If not copy it over.

Restart apache and check if it works.

Since you installed packages individually, also do this:

Copy the dll file from php_installation_folder/extensions to apache_installation_folder/bin
