Windows 7 64 bit with CURL Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

Question

I need to make work CURL IN WAMP

Running cmd.exe, I am able to use curl

 curl -L http://www.google.com

But when using my website locally (using WAMP, PHP Version 5.3.13) even with enabling extension for curl.

I get an error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

My PC is a Windows 7 64 bit..Any ideas on how to solve it?

What does your phpInfo() say? Is there a section with heading curl? You need to have cURL support enabled in PHP. — Marcellus

Are you sure you have enabled curl & restart your Apache ? — Rikesh

section with heading curl is not present when I do phpinfo(). In Wamp under PHP and php.ini extension=php_curl.dll is un commented ... any idea? — GibboK

Go to www.anindya.com download *php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip* under "Fixed curl extensions:" and replace the php_curl.dll in ext folder.

This approach worked checking with CMD, but no in WWW folder for WAMP

I solved the problem installing WAMP 32 bit version on WIN 7 64BIT, in this way CURL worked.
