[Solved] Can't get cURL to work in PHP

Hello.
I have this error: Call to undefined function curl_init...
In phpinfo() it says: ...'--with-curl=shared'...
"curl" package is installed.
"curl.so" in php.ini is uncommented.
"/usr/lib/libcurl.so" is in the system.

Why can't I use curl functions in php?

Re: [Solved] Can't get cURL to work in PHP

When run from terminal, what does

php -m

print?
Be sure to include any warnings, such as trying to load .so files which it cannot find.

Well there's the problem. But I don't know why you don't have curl.so as it comes with the php package. You could try re-installing php and seeing if it appears. Alternatively you could compile it yourself and add the .so to the folder.

php-curl was recently merged into the php package... make sure your php packages are up to date and that you've merged any pacnew files (particularly /etc/php/php.ini)

Re: [Solved] Can't get cURL to work in PHP

I had this same problem,and followed all these steps, but was still getting the Call to undefined function curl_init() in.. error.

This thread suggested a soft reboot. Did that and finally, the issue cleared up.
