I am new new newbie! I appreciate any help you can give.

I had my hosting company install curl for me. He says it is installed. I did
'locate curl' so I could see if it was there. There all kinds of curl
files. The first one says: /root/php/php-4.3.2/ext/curl

I need it to run with my php stuff. I read that it needs to be ver. 7.9.0 or
higher.

I found a script to test curl with:

<?

 $url = "http://www.campaignstuff.net";

   $ch = curl_init();

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);

   $returned = curl_exec($ch);

   curl_close ($ch);

   echo $returned;

   ?>

I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in
/var/www/usera/kappaluppa/campaignstuff.net/www/curltest.php on line 11

Line 11 is $ch = curl_init();

(I don't even know if I'm testing it right. I just plopped that bit of code
in a php file and uploaded it! www.campaignstuff.net/curltest.php)

In my php info page, there is no indication that curl is there.

It seems as if curl is on my server, but not enabled. Do I have to compile
php all over again? (I assume it was compiled once since it is working ???)

If I do, how do I do that?

I know these are all very basic questions, but I've looked and looked all
over for answers and just keep getting more confused!

Thanks!
