致命错误：使用批处理文件调用未定义的函数curl_init（）

Question

I have a PHP that downloads files from backend. I am using WAMP in Windows 7 and it works perfectly when done through the browser.

Now I have created a batch file to execute the php and it shows:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

Not sure why something that could work over in browser is not working in batch file. Below is my code for the batch file:

@ECHO OFF
php.exe -f "C:\wamp\www\test\test.php"

Any idea what's the issue?

Answer 1

uncomment the following on your php.ini

;extension=php_curl.dll

and restart webserver. This might be due to curl disabled in your php.

Answer 2

When you use wamp, xamp or other all-in-one server, it uses an overrided php.ini located into bin/conf/ instead where original is.

You need copy from these or edit the ini located at php.exe folder.

If you cant access it (shared server, etc), you can create a custom php.ini file into script folder, and put needed instructions:

extension_dir = "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.5/ext/" // change version if needed to yours
extension = php_curl.dll

Answer 3

When using through browser it is using WAMP and the PHP ini is from C:\\wamp\\bin\\php\\php5.4.3

But I have set my php directory to C:\\php-5.4.9 in environmental variables, thus when using windows batch it is calling php from that directory and there was no php.ini file there.

I copied the PHP ini file from wamp to php folder and now it is working.

Apparently I have installed php and then wamp, thus there is a overlap which has caused confusion.

Answer 4

Solution for me:

1) sudo apt-get install php5-curl

2) restart server
