Настройка curl php на Windows

Настройка cURL

Написанное ниже актуально для связки Windows 8.1 x64 , Windows10 x64 + Apache 2.4.12 (win32) + Open SSl 1.0.1m + PHP 5.6.11 (php-5.6.11-Win32-VC11-x86).

1. Скачиваем библиотеку cURL http://winampplugins.co.uk/curl. Распаковываем в любую папку. Например, «W:\WebServers\usr\local\curl».
2. В файле настроек PHP php.ini необходимо включить расширение extension=php_curl.dll.
3. Пункт не обязательный, но во многих источниках его рекомендуют выполнять. У нас работает без выполнения этого пункта. Из папки где установлен PHP скопировать в папку « C:\Windows \system32» следующие библиотеки: libssh2.dll, php_curl.dll (находится в папке ext), ssleay32.dll, libeay32.dll. Дополнительно файл ssleay32.dll необходимо скопировать в «C:\Windows\SysWOW64».
4. Добавить в переменные среды в переменную Path пути до папки установки curl.exe и файла php.ini. Например, «W:\WebServers\usr\local\curl;W:\WebServers\usr\local\php5». Очень порадовало то, что в windows10 (1511) появился новый интерфейс редактирования переменных сред. Стало очень удобно редактировать параметры.

Включение поддержки SSL для cURL

1. Скачать файл http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem в папку, в которой установлена библиотека curl.exe.
2. Переименовать скаченный файл в curl-ca-bundle.crt
3. Перезагрузить компьютер.

Install PHP Curl on Windows and Using it on Laravel 5.4

I am using Laravel 5.4 on Windows 10. How to install PHP Curl on Windows and using it on Laravel?

2 Answers 2

Usually all you need is finding php.ini , find line with curl for example:

remove ; from the beginning of the line so it should look like this:

Restart your webserver. Extension should be then available.

Be aware you might have multiple php.ini files (one for command line, one for web server), so make sure you are editing the correct file.

Use the following steps to install curl:

1. Open https://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz?type=bin in a browser.
2. Select your operating system in the dropdown box: either Windows /Win32 or Win 64. Click Select!
3. For Win 32, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or in a Cygwin terminal (cygwin). For Win 64, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or MinGW (MinGW64). Click Select!
4. If required, choose your Windows operating system. Finish.
5. Click Download for the version which has SSL enabled or disabled
6. Open the downloaded zip file. Extract the files to an easy-to-find place, such as C:\Program Files.

Testing curl

1. Open up the Windows Command Prompt terminal. (From the Start menu, click Run, then type cmd.)
2. Set the path to include the directory where you put curl.exe. For example, if you put it in C:\Program Files\curl, then you would type the following command: set path=%path%;»c:\Program Files\curl»

NOTE: You can also directly copy the curl.exe file any existing path in your path

1. Type curl. You should see the following message: curl: try ‘curl –help’ or ‘curl –message’ for more information This means that curl is installed and the path is correct.

PHP / cURL on Windows install: “The specified module could not be found.”

I’m running PHP 5.2.3 on Windows 2000 Server with IIS 5. I’m trying to get cURL working, so in my php.ini file, I have this line:

And later, I have:

The file F:\PHP\ext\php_curl.dll exists, but when I try to run any PHP script, I get this in the error log:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘F:\PHP\ext \php_curl.dll’ — The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

5 Answers 5

Although the error message said The specified module could not be found, this is a little misleading — it’s not that it couldn’t find php_curl.dll , but rather it couldn’t find a module that php_curl.dll required. The 2 DLLs it requires are libeay32.dll and SSLeay32.dll .

So, you have to put those 2 DLLs somewhere in your PATH (e.g., C:\Windows\system32 ). That’s all there is to it.

However, even that did not work for me initially. So I downloaded the Windows zip of the latest version of PHP, which includes all the necessary DLLs. I didn’t reinstall PHP, I just copied all of the DLLs in the «ext» folder to my PHP extensions folder (as specified in the extension_dir variable in php.ini ), and I copied the versions of libeay32.dll and SSLeay32.dll from the PHP download into my System32 directory.

I also did an iisreset, but I don’t know if that was necessary.

How do I install and use cURL on Windows?

I am having trouble getting cURL to run on Windows.

I have downloaded a cURL zip file from here, but it seems to contain source code, not an executable.

Do I need to compile cURL to run it? If yes, then how do I do that?

Where can I find .exe downloads for cURL ?

I have looked for documentation on installing cURL, but there is little to be found.

Assuming you got it from https://curl.haxx.se/download.html, just unzip it wherever you want. No need to install. If you are going to use SSL, you need to download the OpenSSL DLLs, available from curl’s website.

You might already have curl

It is possible that you won’t need to download anything:

If you are on Windows 10, version 1803 or later, your OS ships with a copy of curl, already set up and ready to use.

If you have Git for Windows installed (if you downloaded Git from git-scm.com, the answer is yes), you have curl.exe under:

Simply add the above path to PATH .

Installing curl with a package manager

If you are already using a package manager, it may be more convenient to install with one:

• For Chocolatey, run choco install curl
• For MSYS2, run pacman -S curl
• For Scoop, run scoop install curl
• For Cygwin, add the curl package in Cygwin Setup. EDIT by a reader: Cygwin installer design has changed, please choose curl packages as follows:

Installing curl manually

Downloading curl

It is too easy to accidentally download the wrong thing. If, on the curl homepage, you click the large and prominent «Download» section in the site header, and then the large and prominent curl-7.62.0.tar.gz link in its body, you will have downloaded a curl source package, which contains curl’s source code but not curl.exe . Watch out for that.

Instead, click the large and prominent download links on this page. Those are the official Windows builds, and they are provided by the curl-for-win project.

If you have more esoteric needs (e.g. you want cygwin builds, third-party builds, libcurl, header files, sources, etc.), use the curl download wizard. After answering five questions, you will be presented with a list of download links.

Extracting and setting up curl

Find curl.exe within your downloaded package; it’s probably under bin\ .

Pick a location on your hard drive that will serve as a permanent home for curl:

• If you want to give curl its own folder, C:\Program Files\curl\ or C:\curl\ will do.
• If you have many loose executables, and you do not want to add many individual folders to PATH , use a single folder such as C:\Program Files\tools\ or C:\tools\ for the purpose.

Place curl.exe under the folder. And never move the folder or its contents.

Next, you’ll want to make curl available anywhere from the command line. To do this, add the folder to PATH , like this:

1. Click the Windows 10 start menu. Start typing «environment».
2. You’ll see the search result Edit the system environment variables. Choose it.
3. A System Properties window will popup. Click the Environment Variables button at the bottom.
4. Select the «Path» variable under «System variables» (the lower box). Click the Edit button.
5. Click the Add button and paste in the folder path where curl.exe lives.
6. Click OK as needed. Close open console windows and reopen, so they get the new PATH .

Now enjoy typing curl at any command prompt. Party time!

1. Download curl zip
2. Extract the contents (if you have downloaded the correct version you should find curl.exe)
3. Place curl.exe in a folder where you keep your software (e.g. D:\software\curl\curl.exe)

To run curl from the command line

a) Right-hand-click on «My Computer» icon

b) Select Properties

c) Click ‘Advanced system settings’ link

d) Go to tab [Advanced] — ‘Environment Variables’ button

e) Under System variable select ‘Path’ and Edit button

f) Add a semicolon followed by the path to where you placed your curl.exe (e.g. ;D:\software\curl)

Now you can run from the command line by typing:

The simplest tutorial for setting up cURL on Windows is the Making cURL work on Windows 7. It only have 3 easy steps.

Starting with Windows 10 version 1803 (and earlier, with insider build 17063), you don’t install curl anymore. Windows includes a native curl.exe (and tar.exe ) in C:\Windows\System32\ , which you can access right from your regular CMD .

1. Download cURL (Win64 ia64 zip binary with SSL)
2. Extract curl.exe into » C:\Windows\System32 «
3. Done

Even more easier:

Download the Win64 2000/XP x86_64 MSI installer provided by Edward LoPinto.

At the time of writing file curl-7.46.0-win64.exe was the most recent. Tested with Windows 10.

It’s probably worth noting that Powershell v3 and up, contains a cmdlet called Invoke-WebRequest that has some curl-ish capabilities. The New-WebServiceProxy and Invoke-RestMethod cmdlets are probably worth mentioning too.

I’m not sure they will fit your needs or not, but although I’m not a Windows guy, I have to say I find the object approach PS takes, a lot easier to work with than utilities such as curl, wget etc. They may be worth taking a look at

Note also that installing Git for Windows from git-scm.com also installs Curl. You can then run Curl from Git for Windows’ BASH terminal (not the default Windows CMD terminal).

As you already know, you can find several packages of binaries on the official curl website.

Once you download a package, unzip it wherever you want. I recommend adding its location to your path, so you can call curl from batch or powershell scripts. To add a directory to your path type «environment variables» in the start menu, and select «edit user environment variables». Select Path, and add to the end of the «value» box: ;C:\curl\directory (with the directory changed to where you saved curl.)

If you want to use SSL you need a certificate bundle. Run either mk-ca-bundle.pl (perl) or mk-ca-bundle.vbs (VBScript). Some of the packages of binaries include one or both of them. If your download doesn’t include one, download one here: https://github.com/bagder/curl/tree/master/lib. I recommend mk-ca-bundle.vbs, as on windows you simply double click it to run it. It will produce a file called ca-bundle.crt. Rename it curl-ca-bundle.crt and save it in the directory with curl.exe.

Alternatively, I recently developed an msi installer that sets up a full featured build of curl with just a few clicks. It automatically ads curl to your path, includes a ready-to-use ssl certificate bundle, and makes the curl manual and documentation accessible from the start menu. You can download it at www.confusedbycode.com/curl/.

Install Chocolatey package manager for Windows. Once installed, simply enter choco install curl . Then you can use curl from a terminal.

Thought I’d write exactly what I did (Windows 10, 64-bit):

Choose curl executable.

Choose the first recommended option. For me this was:

curl version: 7.53.1 — SSL enabled SSH enabled. Provided by: Viktor Szakáts. This package is type curl executable You will get a pre-built ‘curl’ binary from this link (or in some cases, by using the information that is provided at the page this link takes you). You may or may not get ‘libcurl’ installed as a shared library/DLL. The file is packaged using 7zip. 7zip is a file archiving format.

You should have the file curl-7.53.1-win64-mingw.7z in your downloads folder.

Install 7-Zip if you don’t have it.

Right-click, 7-Zip, Extract Here. Copy and paste the extracted file somewhere like Z:\Tools\

If you look in the bin folder you’ll see curl.exe. If you double-click it a window will quickly flash up and vanish. To run it you need to use the Command Prompt. Navigate to the bin folder and type curl followed by your parameters to make a request. You must use double-quotes. Single quotes won’t work with curl on Windows.

Now you’ll want to add curl to a user’s Path variable so you don’t have to navigate to the right folder to run the program. Go to This PC, Computer, System Properties, Advanced system settings, authenticate as an administrator (you’re not running as admin, right? Right?) Environment Variables, System variables, look at the list and select Path, then Edit, then New, then, e.g.

You can add a trailing backslash if you like, I don’t think it matters. Click move up until it’s at the top of the list, then you can see it easily from the previous screen. Click OK, OK, OK, then crack open a Command Prompt and you can run curl by typing curl from any folder, as any user. Don’t forget your double-quotes.
