How to Compile the cURL PHP Extension
Sometimes the lsphp-curl package does not contain the latest cURL. If this is the case, you can manually compile the cURL extension with the latest version.
The PHPinfo page reveals the currently installed cURL version is 7.29.0
, but certain applications may require a higher version in order to work properly.
Install the Latest cURL
rpm -ivh http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/yum-repo/city-fan.org-release-3-6.rhel7.noarch.rpm yum-config-manager --enable city-fan.org yum clean all yum update
Check the cURL Version
[root@test ~]# curl -V curl 7.69.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.69.1 NSS/3.44 zlib/1.2.7 libpsl/0.7.0 (+libicu/50.1.2) libssh2/1.9.0 nghttp2/1.31.1 Release-Date: 2020-03-11 Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp scp sftp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp Features: AsynchDNS GSS-API HTTP2 HTTPS-proxy IPv6 Kerberos Largefile libz Metalink NTLM NTLM_WB PSL SPNEGO SSL UnixSockets
Download the PHP Source Code
In this example, we use PHP 7.4 and compile the extension from source.
wget https://www.php.net/distributions/php-7.4.33.tar.gz tar xzvf php-7.4.33.tar.gz cd php-7.4.33/ext/curl /usr/local/lsws/lsphp74/bin/phpize ./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/lsws/lsphp74/bin/php-config --with-curl=/usr/bin make make install
