cURL not working in Windows Task Scheduler

I've a PHP script that uses cURL to perform certain tasks. At the moment, I have the script running every 10 minutes. This is what I'm running via Windows Task Scheduler.

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\php.exe -f C:\wamp\www\autoscripts\index.php

However, for some reason, whenever the argument quoted above is run through the command line, I get the error "Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()". The script works perfectly when I access it via the browser. Is there any reason why PHP isn't able to access the cURL extension via the command line?

Most likely running from command line does not use any ini file that loads the extensions. Open phpinfo() from the browser, copy path to loaded ini file and change your task to:

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\php.exe -c "C:\path\to\php.ini" -f C:\wamp\www\autoscripts\index.php

Figured it out. Basically, on WampServer, there are TWO php.ini files that you need to be aware of.

  • C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\php.ini
  • C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\bin\php.ini

Forgot that the command line uses a different ini file than the web server. :(
