WampServer

Curl library is not loaded and I don't know why... I switch on the Extension in menu of PHP and restart all services (many times). Error logs are clear....
There is no curl extension in start page and my script don't find it.

Please, help me.

OS MS Server 2008, WAMPServer 2.2e.

I think this problem is related to x64 bit architecture. By the way, I download and install x64.

Later I download again version for x32 and install to another x32 computer and all works fine.


Please, correct t for x64 architecture.

i'am getting the same issue with this, but after i installed wamp 32bit on 64bit architecture, and activated the curl library from the php.ini file located on the apache bin directory, my problems solved. curl_init() can be executed now.

there is no bug. x64 64bit and x86 64bit are different.

if you dont have a x64 64bit , you will need to use the 32bit wamp, or find a curl extension built for x86 64bit

Thanks, "Captain Obvious" . I use 64bit wamp on x64 and 32bit version on x32, but 64bit on x64 doesn't start curl extension!!!

OBVIOUSLY you didn't read what I said CORRECTLY


there is a difference between "x86 64BIT" and "x64 64bit"

Neither of these are 32bit!! Wamp 64Bit wont run successfully on both OBVIOUSLY!!!


x86 64bit >> [en.wikipedia.org]

You can go to > [www.anindya.com] and download a X86 64BIT driver so that it does work.

Sorry, but even after reading carefully this thread and the linked Wikipedia article this is all still clear as mud.

My system has an Intel i7 920 CPU. At least informally, I believe this is referred to as a "64 bit processor." My Win 7 system panel screen says that the system type is "64 bit operating system". I have installed the WAMP server package labelled as "64 bits" and in all respects other than curl, it appears to be operating correctly.

My questions:

1. Is Steven trying to say that I have a "x86 64" system and not a "x64 64" system? If so, what is an example of a x64 64 system? (Is he talking about Itanium?)

2. Even if #1 is true, why are all other components of the wamp server 64 bit package working fine, while just the php curl extension has this issue?

Update: the anindya.com post linked above includes at the bottom a collection of "fixed curl extensions" (his words, not mine.) Sure enough, the php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip download runs just fine on my system.

So it seems to me this really was a straight forward case of there being a problem with the included version of curl in the 64 bit package, and the fix is to download and install this patched version.

Still not sure what that whole x64 64 vs x86 64 bit was about. I have seen dozens of programs offer "32 bit" and "64 bit" versions, but never seen one that came in "32 bit" and "64 bit (x86)" and "64 bit (x64)".
