Question

I have have problem while using the cURL in my php script.

Wheni used it its given me below error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

This problem is for both local and live url .

But when i move my code to live its working fine.

I have contact n/w admin but its say that there is no such restriction in firewall.

I am not getting the problem.

Thanks

It sounds like your code is working when you move it to a production environment, but it’s not working in your development environment. It’s not a problem with your code… it sounds like cURL is not installed in your dev environment.

cURL is a library that you’ll need to specifically install in order to use. If your local environment is a linux machine, you need the php5-curl package installed.

If your local environment is a Windows machine, you can re-run the PHP installer to add it. Choose Change, and then at the “Choose Items” screen, expand the Extensions and choose “Will be installed on local hard drive” from next to the Curl option (see image).

Make sure that cURL extension is also enabled in your php.ini file after it’s been installed.
