Recently I asked a similar question on mysqli extension. Still the fix for mysqli is not working for curl.

I'm using PHP 5.6.30 and I need curl extension. In php.ini I have

extension_dir = "ext"
...
extension=php_curl.dll

ext dir exists in folder where php is installed, and php_curl.dll exists in either ext folder and in php install folder. php -m shows that curl is installed. Still the following code

curl_version();

outputs Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_version()

The question is: how can I find out what's wrong with curl?

UPD. I'm using Win7 and the server is Apache 2.4

Do you do checks on command line and run code on Apache? – Álvaro González Jan 30 '17 at 13:29

`display_startup_errors=On` and restart apache. check the error logs. there should be something about curl failing to load, and why – hanshenrik Jan 30 '17 at 13:42
@MagnusEriksson yes, there's `CURL` – Eugeny89 Jan 30 '17 at 14:33
@ÁlvaroGonzález `php --ini` says that PHP CLI uses the same .ini if that is what you are asking about – Eugeny89 Jan 30 '17 at 14:34
Have you checked your servers error log? It seems like curl have some dependencies that aren't always installed on Windows by default. Check out this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2099174/php-and-curl-under-windows-7-64-bits-and-apache – M. Eriksson Jan 30 '17 at 14:39
@Eugeny89 But why verify things indirectly when you can just do a direct check? It's like trying to repair a broken watch through bevelled crystal. – Álvaro González Jan 31 '17 at 08:25
