====== 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 =====

<code>
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
</code>

===== Check the cURL Version =====
<code>[root@test ~]# curl -V

===== Download the PHP Source Code =====

In this example, we use PHP 7.4 and compile the extension from source.

<code>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

</code>

===== Restart and Verify =====

Restart lsphp by command ''pkill lsphp'' if necessary, and check the PHPinfo page again.
