PHP error
php -v shows:
PHP 5.2.4 (cli) (built: Oct 25 2007 19:44:10)
Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies
I am working on something that I think needs the "--with-curl" option. PHP needs to have this as part of the configuration: "--with-curl".
When I run this: "php cflc_login.php", I get
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in /opt/csw/apache2/share/htd
I believe adding the --with-curl as part of the configuration will solve it. How do I add this option without having to rebuild/recompile php?
Thanks for any help,
Shannon

You cannot add modules after building. Yes, you need the curl package.
There is a better way.
CURL is not maintained anymore (it is obsolete) and has been superseded... This is probably why your host did not enable CURL by default.
Use HTTP_Request instead.

Alternatively, if you insist on using CURL, you can download the package from PEAR and use its functions directly.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You can't, you must recompile php with curl support.
However, it's not a total loss. You can use php sockets (if enabled) to do what you want. Also, pear has several packages for http, https, and ftp support, so you _should_ be able to manage with out curl.
Good Luck.
