How do I install curl in php5?

  • 772

I currently have PHP 5.3 installed with Apache in 10.04 Lucid. How can I add the PHP Curl libraries? Do I need to install any other dependencies for curl?

    I believe that the package php5-curl should do the trick. Use the package manager of your choice and the deps should be taken care of.

    sudo apt-get install php5-curl

    You will need to restart the server afterwards:

    sudo service apache2 restart

    Alternatively, if you are using php-fpm, you'll need to restart php5-fpm instead

    sudo service php5-fpm restart

  2. For the subversion php5.6 use the following command (tested for Ubuntu 14.04):

    sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install php5.6
php — version
sudo apt-get install php5.6-curl

  3. My conf: Ubuntu 11.10, already installed mysql,php5 and apache2, before installing php5-curl in terminal I did:

    edit sources list like: 

    sudo -H gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

    you can check your configuration in http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/

    Next command: 

    apt-get install aptitude

    Next command:

    aptitude install php5-curl

    You get something like this:

    In your browser open phpinfo(), check property:

    extension_dir   /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs

    In that folder you should now have curl.so

    Edit php.ini

    nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

    find "dynamic extensions" add code below:

    extension=curl.so

    After that restart apache2 and check phpinfo(), curl must be enabled
