Detailed explanation of how to install PHP curl extension under Linux

This article describes how to install the PHP curl extension under Linux. Share with you for your reference, the details are as follows:

I encountered such a problem during development today, which is how to install the curl extension of PHP under Linux. My LNMP environment was originally compiled and installed, not installed using YUM.

My environment:

Linux: CentOs 6.4
PHP: 5.6.30

Solution:

1. Enter the PHP source directory, which is the address where PHP was downloaded to the server and decompressed before.

cd /usr/local/src/php-5.6.30

2. Run ext/curl in the PHP source directory

cd ext/curl

3. Call the phpize program to generate a compiled configuration file

/usr/local/php/bin/phpize 

4. Call configure to generate Makefile

./configure --with-curl=/usr/local/curl --with-php-config=/usr/local/php/bin/php-config

5. Compile and install

make & make install

At this point, the path to generate the file curl.so will be prompted:

/usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/

6. Modify the php.ini file

vim /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini
extension=/usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/curl.so

7. Detection

/usr/local/php/bin/php -m

If you see the curl item, it means the installation is successful

8. Restart php-fpm

pkill -9 php-fpm
./sbin/php-fpm

OK!
