PHP cURL not working - WAMP on Windows 7 64 bit

Question

Go to http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/ and download the cURL version that corresponds to your PHP version under "Fixed curl extensions:".

So if you have PHP 5.3.13, download "php_curl-5.3.13-VC9-x64.zip". Try the "VC" version first. Then replace the php_curl.dll in ext folder. This worked for me.

I had the same exact issue. After trying almost everything and digging on Stack Overflow, I finally found the reason. Try downloading "fixed curl extension" separately from PHP 5.4.3 and PHP 5.3.13 x64 (64 bit) for Windows.

I've downloaded "php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64", and it worked for me. I hope it helps.

Works for me:

• Go to this link
• Download *php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip* under "Fixed curl extensions:"
• Replace the php_curl.dll file in the ext folder.

This worked for me.

I have struggled a lot with this myself.. In the end, PHP version 5.3.1 with Apache 2.2.9 worked...

I was getting the consistent error of missing php5.dll. For this, I renamed all the old php.ini files which are not required (outside of the WAMP folder) to old_ohp.ini.

The error is unrelated to PHP. It means you are somehow relying on Apache's mod_deflate, but that Apache module is not loaded. Try enabling mod_deflate in httpd.conf or commenting out the offending line (search for DEFLATE in httpd.conf).

As for the PHP curl extension, you must make sure it's activated in php.ini. Make sure extension_diris set to the directory php_curl.dll is in:

extension_dir = "C:/whatever" and then add

extension=php_curl.dll

The steps are as follows:

1. Close WAMP (if running)
2. Navigate to WAMP\bin\php\<your version of PHP>
3. Edit file php.ini
4. Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
5. Navigate to WAMP\bin\Apache\<your version of Apache>\bin\
6. Edit file php.ini
7. Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
8. Save both
9. Restart WAMP

I think cURL doesn't work with WAMP 2.2e. I tried all your solutions, but it still did not work. I got the previous version, (2.2d) and it works.

So just download the previous version :D
