How to use CUrl

[sundar22in@gmail.com]

Hi,
How to use CUrl??? What are the libraries to be included using the
require_once command??
I wanted to implement Range Header and get a part of file thru HTTP. So
found that curl_setopt() method will be useful. Is curl comes with the
new php installation for windows 2000?? If not how to install it?? Is
it easy to insatll?

Kindly help

None. It's an extension, so you need to load the extension in php.ini or
compile it into PHP itself.

Yes. Open php.ini. Uncomment (remove the leading semicolon) the
"extension=php_ curl.dll" line. Restart your webserver. cURL functions should
then be available.

But see the "Note to Win32 Users" in the manual (the first link in this
message, above).

"extension=php_ curl.dll" line. Restart your webserver. cURL functions should
then be available.

I removed the comment (i.e semicolon ) for "extension=php_ curl.dll"
line in the php.ini. After making this change i restarted the Apache
webserver. But It said "Unable to load dynamic library
/../php/extensions/php_curl.dll" - The specified module could not be
found. Does this mean cURL is not installed ???

But see the "Note to Win32 Users" in the manual (the first link in this
message, above).

Yes, I made sure libeay32.dll,ss leay32.dll are included in the PATH
variable. Even then im getting the same error message which is
specified above!

Thanks

Are you using the installer version? From the PHP page:

PHP 4.4.4 zip package [8,090Kb] - 17 Aug 2006
(CGI binary plus server API versions for Apache, Apache2 (experimental),
ISAPI, NSAPI, Servlet and Pi3Web. MySQL support built-in, many
extensions included, packaged as zip)
md5: 3ff3f58a2f573c8 0f34f2b670d7ac8 73

PHP 4.4.4 installer [1,085Kb] - 17 Aug 2006
(CGI only, MySQL support built-in, packaged as Windows installer to
install and configure PHP, and automatically configure IIS, PWS and
Xitami, with manual configuration for other servers. N.B. no external
extensions included)
md5: e5db53efb3e0fed 5407fc7c71cf0b4 36

If the answer is yes, the sentence 'no external extensions included'
should explain everything. Get the archive.

Bye!

Re: How to use CUrl

I was able to install php with cURL extensions. thanks for helping me
out. i wanted to specify the range of file using curl_setopt(). How do
we do that?.
Basically i wanted to get a par of file instead of the whole file.

Thanks in advance
