Setup Curl() in apache?

[EchoFool]

I have gone into my apache/php.ini and allowed this line:

 

extension=php_curl.dll

 

 

But according to my script with curl involved it still gives me the same issue which is :

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

 

Does any one know what other line in apache php.ini i have to enable to get this to work ?

 

Hope you can help.

honestly if this still relating to that POST method question..  then you see the problem.. many webhosts might also have it shutdown.

 

anyways here is how it should be done

 

<?php
$data = "key=val&key2=val2&key3=val3&etc=etc.."
$curl_handle = curl_init ();
curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL,
"https://site.com/postscript.php");
curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$response = curl_exec ($curl_handle) or die ("There has been an error
connecting to your POST method site.");
curl_close ($curl_handle);
?>

Right got it working but i get:

 

There has been an error connecting to your POST method site.

 

Is this down to the settigs on my other server? If so what do i need to allow it to work ? What could be stopping it ?

are  u sure that site is real?

 

https://site.com/postscript.php = example plus it has https which is SSL (secure sealed layer? i think) security site..

 

replace it with

http://yoursite.com/YourScriptToPostTo.php

Yes the site is real as the site picked up the data perfectly... so it is working but i still get the error as mentioned

try replace

 

$response = curl_exec ($curl_handle) or die ("There has been an error

connecting to your POST method site.");

 

with

 

$response = curl_exec ($curl_handle) or die ("The error was: ". curl_error($curl_handle));

try replace

 

$response = curl_exec ($curl_handle) or die ("There has been an error

connecting to your POST method site.");

 

with

 

$response = curl_exec ($curl_handle) or die ("The error was: ". curl_error($curl_handle));

 

The error was: couldn't connect to host

 

But it did connect to the script, because the script executed perfectly.. ? So any ideas what its on about?
