Question

I just installed pecl_http with the default options and added the line “extension=http.so” to my active php.ini configuration file, but when I run my script I’m still getting

Call to undefined function http_post_fields()

Any ideas on what I can check to fix the problem?

Here’s the code:

    $url = "http://localhost/elistings/public/dynamicSearch.php";
    $data = array("phone_number" => "",
               "business_name" => "name",
               "business_address" => "my address",
               "city_and_state" => "city, CA",
               );

$response = http_post_fields($url, $data);
echo $response;

Answer 1

After verifying that pecl_http was successfully installed, have you tried this?

We have to activate the module, don’t modify the file /etc/php.ini,
but add a file pecl_http.ini in /etc/php.d

; Enable pecl_http extension module
extension=http.so

restart Apache
