But when i move my code to live its working fine.

Answer 1

You might want to ask the server support team whether curl extension is enabled on their server or not. It may be that it is enabled on your local server but not online.

Answer 2

It sounds like your code is working when you move it to a production environment, but it's not working in your development environment. It's not a problem with your code... it sounds like cURL is not installed in your dev environment.

cURL is a library that you'll need to specifically install in order to use. If your local environment is a linux machine, you need the php5-curl package installed.

If your local environment is a Windows machine, you can re-run the PHP installer to add it. Choose Change, and then at the "Choose Items" screen, expand the Extensions and choose "Will be installed on local hard drive" from next to the Curl option (see image).

Make sure that cURL extension is also enabled in your php.ini file after it's been installed.
