When I enable curl on Ubuntu with PHP8 - get error

I get an error after I enable curl in /etc/php/8.1/cli/php.ini:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'curl' (tried: /usr/lib/php/20210902/curl (/usr/lib/php/20210902/curl: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php/20210902/curl.so (/usr/lib/php/20210902/curl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0
PHP 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.10 (cli) (built: Jan 16 2023 15:19:49) (NTS)

I did:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt install curl
$ curl -V

with apt you're not supposed to enable curl in php.ini. instead you're supposed to let apt enable it automatically by installing the package php-curl

sudo apt install php-curl

will install and enable curl in your default php version. if you have more than 1 php version, and php8.1 is not your default version, then you'll also have to run

sudo apt install php8.1-curl

(but if 8.1 is your default php version, then i don't recommend installing 8.1-curl manually)
