What ssh command can i run on my server to find out if php is "compiled" with curl?


Thank you very much

Create a php script that only has:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and load it up in your web browser. See if curl is compiled in by looking at that page.

As a follow up, you could use this shell command:

php -r "phpinfo();" | grep curl

root@ns1 [~]# php -r "phpinfo();" | grep curl
Error in argument 1, char 2: option not found r


Thanks everyone.

When I check the PHP info in my modernbill software it shows that curl is compiled with php but when I upload this file (<?php phpinfo(); ?>) to a website it shows that curl is not there.

Please advise, Thank you

And these are on the same server?

Yes they are.

Thank you

Wait, sorry I made a mistake. They are not on the same server. How do I compile php with curl using WHM?

Do I just use the "Update Apache" feature and choose both curls?

Will this "compile it with php?



Thanks and sorry for the mistake.

Yep..just use the update apache and away it goes. Make sure to choose all the other options you want as well. Check that phpinfo page to see what is currently installed.

Thanks so much.

For your reference, the command to run is :


$ php -i | grep CURL
CURL support => enabled
CURL Information => libcurl/7.11.0 OpenSSL/0.9.7d zlib/1.2.1


Other useful command line options:


$ php -v
PHP 4.3.9 (cli) (built: Sep 30 2004 17:12:36)
Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies


Note that this is a cli build, not a cgi build -- options vary

To run files, add -q option, which suppresses the headers:


$ php -q test.php
04/09/2004


To check for syntax errors, use the -l option


$ php -l test.php
No syntax errors detected in test.php
