Call to undefined function curl_init() error with WAMP

I know that it's a very often asked problem, but I've tried all that I found and it still doesn't work.

I use WAMP 2.2 on Windows 7 (64 bits), and PHP 5.4.3. When I call curl_init() in localhost, I've this error message :

Call to undefined function curl_init() 

What I've done :

And when I call php_info(), I cannot find curl...

My late reply may be useful to someone.

During my experience of this issue, I found that none of the suggestions here nor on other forums resolved it.

In my case I had installed the Wamp folder outside of the Program Files folder, however the php.ini file incorrectly referenced C:\Program Files\wamp in multiple places.

Therefore, amending the path in php.ini in several places resolved my issue.

To achieve this:

  • Load php.ini into your favourite text editor
  • Search for each instance of "Program Files"
  • Update the filepath for each one
  • Save the changes to make them permanent.

for me, I have wampp installed, none of the former worked. Curl worked only when I clicked the wamp icon and enabled the curl module from there. So left click wamp, choose php extensions and choose curl from there. good luck

Do as 4life suggests, but make sure you get the dll called php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip

do not try to use the one called php_curl-5.4.3-nts-VC9-x64.zip

WAMP requred Thread Safe dll's and the -nts- stands for Not-Thread_Safe

Go to this link download *php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip* under "Fixed curl extensions:" and replace the php_curl.dll in ext folder. This worked for me.
