using http functions in php

[kapitanluffy]

i have been searching for a solution for about a day already.

 

can anyone help me on how to use the http functions (if thats what it is called) in php?

 

http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.http.php

 

like for example. i need to use the http_get() function but it returns

Fatal error:  Call to undefined function..

 

in the manual it says that i need to put php_http.dll on the ext dir and enable it in php ini like this..

 

extension=php_http.dll

 

..which i already did

 

im working under..

windows xp sp3

php 5.3.1

 

thanks guys

since you've placed the dll in the ext dir and enabled it in the ini.. what error have you been getting?

 

EDIT: I took a look @ the installation requirements, which states that they do not have a .dll for the extension, and PECL is down for windows XP+ unless you have visual basic 98 or visual studios 98, you need the compiler bundled with that.. then you'd also need to install pear and then go thru the command line to install the pecl extension..

 

In other words.. you're more than likely not gonna get this extension for windows Sorry man <3

yeah i already read about the compiling stuff..but i already downloaded a compiled php_http.dll

 

http://museum.php.net/php5/pecl-5.2.6-Win32.zip

 

btw another error it pops out is ..

 

"the procedure entry point php_set_error_handling could not be located in the dynamic link library php5ts.dll"

i think i already found one work around..

 

the flaw came from the versions..i am using php 5.3.x

the pecl 5.2.6 will only work with php 5.2.x
