Hi I know that this is an old video and I don't expect a response, but I'm running a Win10 Desktop and in my php.ini I have enabled the cURL extension, but when I do curl_init(); I get and error saying undefined function. Any suggestions to get cURL working?

[@chriscustomcuts6246]

How do you update cURL to a higher version?

[@OviedoSaul]

Nice, really helpful. Thank you!

[@vahida6146]

Hello and thanks for your tutorial , I want to know how i can send the data from first curl request you did from google directly to another page using a new curl again.

[@john.morris]

Just make a new cURL call and use POST.

[@vahida6146]

Thanks, so we don't need to wait for first call to finish ?

[@john.morris]

Well yeah, you do. PHP processes synchronously.

[@Rs3Audi]

[@john.morris]

I'll look into it

[@kemdem876]

[@thembocharleslwanga8990]

You just Saved my Ass

[@somyaranjandas4599]

why i use curl?

[@FizzHasif]

Liked your video but there's actually no link that I've found which has the source codes you were using to get started easily. If you're just marketing to enroll then it just hurtful for inexperienced programmers.

[@MrShivtu]

Hi, I am trying to make users log in using an API
I am using curl method to send username and password to the API
here it is:
I am still unable to make the user login
I always get a failure error message (from the API) anything wrong with the code ?

[@varenneriocha8712]

I wish, I watched this video before trying to modify a "template" script to my requirements.

[@john.morris]

Always helpful to get to the root of how something works

[@danieldixon5944]

Can you teach me how to download a csv file that prompts the user to save file. Can curl using this link: molottery.com//gameHistory.do?method=mmPrintout&order=desc I am using Linux and need to do this from command line. I tried to do this with Curl, but could not get it to work. Also can curl deal with user prompts that the site requests?

[@shafiq9228]

[@john.morris]

+Shafiq Patel I don't know I saw this one once... it was pretty terrible. No talking. Words on the screen. It was bad. Oh and yo mama
