Question

I’m completely newbie in PHP.

I have tried example code from this site. but it gives following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\xampp\htdocs\g\test1.php on line 3

Am I missing something? It says undefined function curl_init() so where should I define it?

Code:-

<?php
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);

// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>

I assume you’re using xampp as for your error shows it, locate php.ini in xampp directory probably located in C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.ini and search for ;extension=php_curl.dll remove the ; to uncomment it. Restart xampp.
