How do I install the ext-curl extension with PHP 7?

Question

I've installed PHP 7 using this repo, but when I try to run composer install, it's giving this error:

• [package] requires ext-curl * -> the requested PHP extension curl is missing from your system.

With PHP 5, you can easily install it by running the yum or apt-get install php5-curl command, but I can't find how to install the PHP 7 equivalent.

How do I install ext-curl for PHP 7?

Answer 1

Well I was able to install it by :

sudo apt-get install php-curl

on my system. This will install a dependency package, which depends on the default php version.

After that restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 2

please try

sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl

• step4 - sudo service apache2 restart

I tried the above solutions but it didn't work for me, just incase there any other person in the same shoes, this is what I did. I updated apt-get with the following command

If You have 404 or errors while sudo apt-get install php-curl just try

sudo apt-get update

and again try

sudo apt-get install php-curl

But notice what version was installed (i use php7.3 and php7.4-curl was installed - so it will not work)

try then

sudo apt-get install php7.3-curl

At the end You may want to restart services like: apache2 or php-fpm:

sudo apache2 restart
sudo service php7.3-fpm restart

this worked for me.

Check if curl is on the installed modules list for current php:

php -m

Answer 7

First Login to your server and check the PHP version which is installed on your server.

And then run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl

sudo service apache2 restart

Replace the PHP version ( php7.2 ), with your PHP version.

Answer 8

If you are using PHP7.1 ( try php -version to find your PHP version)

sudo apt-get install php7.1-curl

then restart apache

sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 9

I got an error that the CURL extension was missing whilst installing WebMail Lite 8 on WAMP (so on Windows).

After reading that libeay32.dll was required which was only present in some of the PHP installation folders (such as 7.1.26), I switched the PHP version in use from 7.2.14 to 7.1.26 in the WAMP PHP version menu, and the error went away.

Answer 11

Windows users:

Note: Note to Win32 Users In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll, or, as of OpenSSL 1.1 libcrypto-.dll and libssl-.dll, must be present in your PATH. Also libssh2.dll must be present in your PATH. You don't need libcurl.dll from the cURL site.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/curl.installation.php

Add your C:\wamp\bin\php\php7.1.15 to your PATH

Restart all services
