Enabling CURL on Ubuntu 11.10
- by Afsheen Khosravian
I have installed curl:
sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl
and I have updated my php.ini file to include(I also tried .so):
extension=php_curl.dll
To test if curl is working I created a file called testCurl.php which contains the following:
<?php
echo ‘<pre>’;
var_dump(curl_version());
echo ‘</pre>’;
?>
When I navigate to localhost/testCurl.php I get an error: HTTP Error 500
Heres a snippet from the error log:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/php_curl.dll' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/php_curl.dll: cannot op$

Can anyone help me to get curl working?
The problem was with the original test code. I used a new test file containing this and curl is now working:
<?php
## Test if cURL is working ##
## SCRIPT BY WWW.WEBUNE.COM (please do not remove)##
echo '<pre>';
var_dump(curl_version());
echo '</pre>';
?>
