I have installed in my local computer apache 2.4 with PHP 7.1. I enabled curl in my php.ini (extension=php_curl.dll), but for some reason curl is not being loaded even after i enabled it, i made a phhinfo to check, and nothing, i also made a small script:

function isExtensionLoaded($extension_name){
    return extension_loaded($extension_name);
}

echo isExtensionLoaded('curl');

And nothing, is blank, what it means is not being loaded, is something missing? Im on Windows 10.

In my case it worked when I also copied nghttp2.dll to Apache bin directory

I was looking for a solution a really long time, until I decided to read some comments on the PHP documentation site: http://php.net/manual/de/curl.installation.php

I fixed coping the following list files from php folder (in my case C:\xampp\php7)

libeay32.dll
libssh2.dll
ssleay32.dll

Some people also had to move nghttp2.dll for it to work.

To your apache/bin folder (C:\xampp\apache\bin in my case).

I also copied those to C:\Windows\System32, but I do not think any of these files were loaded.

EDIT: I successfully deleted these dlls from system32 folder and was able to run curl afterwards

    Those three and nghttp2.dll as well, for me. Cheers (also to @nick-proto) – Adam Cameron Oct 20 '17 at 11:23
  • I can't understand why third-party bundles are so popular yet you apparently always need to do workarounds like this for simple features. In the official PHP binaries curl always works out of the box :-? – Álvaro González Jun 08 '18 at 13:49

It works if you set ssl VERIFYPEER to false

curl_setopt($get, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

it will works fine . you can also make curl work withe ssl by downloading the cacert.pem from https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html and Adding the cert to your php.ini file

curl.cainfo="C:\path\cacert.pem" 
openssl.cafile="C:\path\cacert.pem"

and 

curl_setopt($get, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);

will work too this way you can prevent man-in-the-middle attacks, check this link for more details http://thisinterestsme.com/php-curl-ssl-certificate-error/

Make sure you have edited the right file. There should be separate file for CLI, Apache2 and other SAPIs. After doing so, restart the Apache2 server.

It hard to guess why its not running and as I see you don't get error atm.

you should get errors but I am pretty sure you didn't set error-logging in your php.ini

First we need to activate logging to see why your extensions are not running correctly:

Please change/add following lines in your php.ini file:

display_startup_errors = On
error_log = 'c:/php-logs/php-error.log'

Now create the php-logs directory and php-log.log file

mkdir c:/php-logs
copy NUL c:/php-logs/php-error.log

Now restart the server. Now you should get the errors and please share the error-code so I can help

Update:

Enable mod_ssl in `httpd.conf``

LoadModule ssl_module c:\apache-2.2\modules\mod_ssl.so

  • Hello is giving me this error: "PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\ext\php_curl.dll" – Pedro Feb 27 '17 at 13:32
  • Its this: extension_dir = "C:\PHP\ext" – Pedro Feb 27 '17 at 14:21
  • Can you please check `httpd.conf` file, I guess mod_ssl.so is not installed and check my updated answer please – Vural Feb 27 '17 at 14:31
  • Yes, i already enabled, it was comment and i remove the comment :LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so – Pedro Feb 27 '17 at 15:00
