How do we enable curl_init() [Archive]

I have a php page that requires curl_init(). The knowledge base says it is ebabled, yet phpinfo() makes no mention of it (on my site at least). Is there a setting in the ini file that refers to the dll for this that needs to be modified, do we need to make a support request, or something else?

I am on windows 7.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()...

I found this:
If this is a Windows based system, CURL can be enabled by uncommenting the curl extension line in the php.ini file - extension=php_curl.dll and restarting the web server.
Here, but it's dated: http://www.hotscripts.com/forums/php/26167-fatal-error-call-undefined-function-curl_init.html (http://www.hotscripts.com/forums/php/26167-fatal-error-call-undefined-function-curl_init.html")

Thanks.

I am running on the discountASP.net Windows 2008 server and it seems like curl has been enabled. Try the following "test.php". You should get a message from the "curl web page" and a message from the original web page.

You should be able to see this working at the following link.

<?php
//This is a comment
$ch = curl_init("http://www.doggiedudes.net/");
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>

<?php
$txt="Hello World from phpcurl001";
echo $txt;
