Use below code : It tells every extension available in the current php set up.

…and your own code could have been much cleaner:

function _iscurlinstalled() {
return in_array(‘curl’, get_loaded_extensions())
}

Good, your method is more useful.

Hi Emil

I see my initial post was complete overkill, your method is definitely better to use

`if ( function_exists(‘curl_version’) == “Enabled” ){ //do something; };`
Virker også fint. // works a charm.

Dmitry there is an error with your code. I was testing and of course it was giving me a false positive. curl_open is not a function, curl_init is what you should have tested with. Once I made the change I was getting a message saying cURL was enabled.

echo ‘cURL is’.(function_exists(‘curl_init’) ? ” : ‘ not’).’ installed’;

Hi Dmitry

Auch, that code is so much cleaner and simpler. Thank you for that tip, I never even thought to use the function_exists() function.

Thanks

You may also use ‘function_exists’ function to check that. Simple code will be:
echo ‘cURL is’.(function_exists(‘curl_open’) ? ” : ‘ not’).’ installed’;
