Cannot use curl with PHP on ubuntu 11.1

Question

I am trying to use curl on my ubuntu 11.1 server.

In my script, I have the following:

$ch = curl_init();

But when I run the script, I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

I thought that Curl was not installed, but when I do the following:

 sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl

I get the following:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libcurl4-openssl-dev' instead of 'libcurl3-dev'
curl is already the newest version.
libcurl3 is already the newest version.

(I did not do the update). Any ideas?

enable the extension.. see http://stackoverflow.com/a/12787844/1943011 — Rahul Kaushik, May 21 '14 at 05:32

Perhaps it's not enabled. Try `sudo php5enmod curl` then restart your web server (if using a web server). See http://serverfault.com/questions/132551/install-php-extensions-on-ubuntu — Phil, May 21 '14 at 06:48

In my question, I already mentioned that the installer told me that I have curl installed and it's the latest version – EastsideDev May 21 '14 at 06:10
