Calling curl_multi_init() causes script to terminate

Question

I'm trying to use curl_multi for the first time and am doing testing on my local development machine using WampServer. I can call curl_init() without any problem, but when I try doing this:

$mh = curl_multi_init();

Chrome shows a page saying "No data received." So it's like the script just stops running and no output is returned.

What might be causing this problem?

EDIT:

Example 1:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
set_time_limit(100);

echo 'test1';
$mh = curl_init();
echo 'test2';

die();

Output 1:

test1test2

Example 2:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
set_time_limit(100);

echo 'test1';
$mh = curl_multi_init();
echo 'test2';

die();

Output 2:

No data received

@BenjaminDeBos This is happening on my Windows computer. I'm running WampServer. — Nate, Dec 28 '13 at 23:14
Maybe related to that same problem? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10939248/php-curl-not-working-wamp-on-windows-7-64-bit Have you tried running a code that is known to work? Anything in the log relevant to the problem? — Maxime, Dec 28 '13 at 23:23
@Maxime I tried replacing the DLL like that answer said, but that results in the following error showing: `Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_multi_init() `, so no joy. — Nate, Dec 28 '13 at 23:28
@Maxime I tried all of the other DLL's on the page linked to in that answser, and one of them worked! Make your comment an answer? — Nate, Jan 01 '14 at 18:35

It may be related to that same problem. The cURL DLL in WampServer is known to be buggy. Yet, so far, it wouldn't activate itself within the PHP extensions menu rather than causing that issue. Interesting to know!
