Quick PHP Check if Your Server Supports cURL

Some software and plugins out there require support of cURL and some website hosting service providers disable support for cURL for “security purposes”. So here is a quick way to check if your server supports cURL before you shell out a nice chunk of cash on that new plugin or software.

Create a PHP page with the following code in it:

<?php

function _iscurlsupported() {
if  (in_array  (‘curl’, get_loaded_extensions())) {
return true;
}
else{
return false;
}
}

if (_iscurlsupported()) echo “cURL is supported”; else echo “cURL is NOT supported”;

?>

Save and upload the page to your server and then open it up in a browser. The answer lies within.

Ok, later.
