Question

Writing a function in php

I'm using the following code

echo 'Curl: ', function_exists('curl_version') ? 'Enabled' : 'Disabled'; 

this can get it enabled or disabled

but I would like to make as function say function name is _iscurl

then I can call it as following any where in my website code

if (_iscurl()){   echo "this is enabled"; // will do an action }else{   echo "this is disabled"; // will do another action } 

almost same as my previous question check if allow_url_fopen is enabled or not

Answer 1

Just return your existing check from a function.

function _isCurl(){     return function_exists('curl_version'); }
