php cURL iis 6.0 windows server 2003

Question

having issue setting up cURL with iis 6.0, windows server 2003, php 5.2.6

have installed to C:\PHP

set PHPRC = C:\PHP\php.ini

copied ssleay32.dll andlibeay32.dll to C:\PHP

in php.ini, uncommented the line extension=php_curl.dll

extension_dir="C:\PHP\ext"

c:\php\ext has the dll php_curl.dll

EDIT 1:

C:\PHP is in PATH

still getting "Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()"

Answer 1

Make sure php_curl.dll is in the directory listed under "extension_dir" in php.ini. If it is already, try restarting IIS (Apache always needs a restart from me when making php.ini changes).

EDIT 1:

Try opening up a command prompt to c:\php and running:

php -c . -i | find /i "curl"

Does it come back with any output? If so, IIS is using the wrong php.ini file.

EDIT 2:

Is c:\php in your PATH? You can check with "echo %PATH%" from the command prompt.

Answer 2

Maybe it's loading c:\windows\php.ini? I take it you've restarted IIS since you changed the config... :)

Answer 3

i ended up doin a reinstall of php, then unistalling php. then i copied and extracted the thread safe php package into c:\php rather than using the non thread safe package
