Enable CURL on Windows For PHP5.6.4

Question

Im trying to use HybridAuth in one of my projects, the error message im getting is

Original error message: Hybridauth Library needs the CURL PHP extension.

Even though i have enabled cURL in my php.ini extension=php_curl.dll

here is a screenshot of my phpinfo()

enter image description here

What else i have to do in-order to enable the cURL extension, the related php_curl.dll is also present in the ext dir

Message that i get when i restart the apache server

C:\Apache24\bin>httpd -k restart AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using fe80::a02e:1c05:c6ad:9332. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message

enter image description here

Are you using MAMP or something? Because it caches the php.ini file somewhere else rather than in original directory. — Abhinav Gauniyal, Jan 05 '15 at 09:01
Clear your browsing history & cache and reload your server. You can visit http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/php/install.html and http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php for installation. — Gaurav Dave, Jan 05 '15 at 09:27
@AbhinavGauniyal i have separately installed the apache, php and mysql — John x, Jan 05 '15 at 09:32
@KirenSiva i have checked after restarting the apache server — John x, Jan 05 '15 at 09:32
@GauravDave nope same old error message... tried clearing the browser cache — John x, Jan 05 '15 at 09:34
@Johnx , try searching the phpinfo() page only , it might have some information on curl if it has been enabled. — Abhinav Gauniyal, Jan 05 '15 at 09:35
When you restart, does it give any error/warning (like: apache is already running), else you could install xampp, will makes you're life easier. — Gaurav Dave, Jan 05 '15 at 09:35
@GauravDave nope, i'll update the message apache gives, but that is i think related to some domain name config...just a sec — John x, Jan 05 '15 at 09:42
@Johnx , It should be related to your php configuration , see if your phpinfo contains something like this : http://i.imgur.com/RpfUji4.png — Abhinav Gauniyal, Jan 05 '15 at 09:43
@Johnx Edit you're apache2.conf file and add ServerName localhost in that. — Gaurav Dave, Jan 05 '15 at 09:46
@AbhinavGauniyal I have added the curl part of my phpinfo to the question plz have a look i dont have anything like your config i.e a separate cURL section... — John x, Jan 05 '15 at 09:48
@GauravDave tnx added the servername and the warning went away, but the original problem still persists :( — John x, Jan 05 '15 at 09:52
Then it isn't yet added. Are you sure you have uncommented ( removed ; in front of ) php_curl.dll line? And on x64 machine? : have you seen this ques : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25044010/running-curl-on-64-bit-windows — Abhinav Gauniyal, Jan 05 '15 at 09:55
@AbhinavGauniyal plz have a look at last screenshot i have added in the question edit — John x, Jan 05 '15 at 09:59
Paste the Output of a sample curl request. Try the above link i have commented. And x86 or x64 version ? There are good answers here too : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/181082/how-do-i-install-curl-on-windows — Abhinav Gauniyal, Jan 05 '15 at 10:01
eventually i end up downgrading my php version, thanks everybody for the support.. — John x, Jan 05 '15 at 13:31

You have to add PHP install path to windows environment path. For example it you install php on C:\PHP, add both C:\PHP and C:\PHP\ext to windows path. Some how Apache cannot find curl dependencies libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll and libssh2.dll

Try this:

if  (in_array  ('curl', get_loaded_extensions())) {
    echo "cURL is installed on this server";
}
else {
    echo "cURL is not installed on this server";
}

See, if that works.

so it turns out i need a fixed version of curl which i could not find for PHP_5.6.4, so i downgraded to PHP Version 5.4.3 and then downloaded Fixed curl extension(dont know what it is) from here replaced the original php_curl.dll with the one i downloaded and voila it worked.

The following SO post helped me fix the problem

PHP cURL not working - WAMP on Windows 7 64 bit

P.S please feel free to edit the answer as i dont know the exact reason why its working now and why it was not earlier...

get back the original php_curl.dll file ( from the zip file you downlaoded from php.net )

copy libssh2.dll, php_curl.dll, ssleay32.dll, libeay32.dll to Windows\system32 folder

this worked with me i have php 5.6.6 x64 ts with apache 2.4.10 in windows 8.1

You have to add the PHP install path to the Windows environment path. For example, if you install PHP on C:\PHP, add both C:\PHP and C:\PHP\ext to the Windows path. Somehow, Apache cannot find curl dependencies libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll and libssh2.dll.
