I've been using WAMP for a long time without any problems with PHP 7.2.4. Today I've updated my PHP to 7.4.19 and it seems the cURL extension is not loading properly, I am getting the curl_init() error.
php.ini is configured correctly in php7.4.19 folder,
extension=curl is uncommented, so is the php.ini file in apache/bin
folder, which is basically just a link to the same file from the PHP
directory
I've tried unchecking the cURL extension and turning it on
again from WAMP settings and also directly in php.ini by commenting
it, followed by restarting the WAMP or even Windows
in phpinfo() I
can clearly see the cURL is not being loaded, if I switch back to
7.2.4 however and refresh the page, cURL loads just fine
I've tried copying the php_curl.dll from 7.2.4 /ext directory, to the current 7.4.19 /ext
directory and rewriting the file
I've tried adding
extension=php_curl.dll to php.ini as well
The system PATH is correctly configured. As I mentioned, it works well with older version of PHP, which uses the same system PATH.
System info:
WAMP 3.2.5 x64
Apache 2.4.33
PHP 7.4.19
MySQL and MariaDB probably not relevant at all
Windows 10 x64 with most recent updates
Basically I've tried everything I found online. Do you have any ideas?
This is very dumb of me, but I finally solved it, leaving this answer here in case anyone struggles with the same problem.
I needed to update Apache from 2.4.33 to 2.4.47. Seems like the .33 version had problems with loading the cURL extension in PHP 7.4 for some reason.

I got my WAMP installed on my windows 7 64bit. cURL is not working, but still I got it enabled from the WAMP tray.
I have also uncommented extension=php_curl.dll in php.ini for both the PHP and Apache folder.
Windows give me an error message,
PHP Startup: unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/ext/php_curl.dll' - the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-lin sxstrace.exe tool for more detail."
How can I fix this problem?
Go to http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/ and download the cURL version that corresponds to your PHP version under "Fixed curl extensions:".
So if you have PHP 5.3.13, download "php_curl-5.3.13-VC9-x64.zip". Try the "VC" version first. Then replace the php_curl.dll in ext folder. This worked for me.
I had the same exact issue. After trying almost everything and digging on Stack Overflow, I finally found the reason. Try downloading "fixed curl extension" separately from PHP 5.4.3 and PHP 5.3.13 x64 (64 bit) for Windows.
I've downloaded "php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64", and it worked for me. I hope it helps.
Works for me:
Go to this link
Download *php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip* under "Fixed curl extensions:"
Replace the php_curl.dll file in the ext folder.
This worked for me.
I have struggled a lot with this myself.. In the end, PHP version 5.3.1 with Apache 2.2.9 worked...
I was getting the consistent error of missing php5.dll. For this, I renamed all the old php.ini files which are not required (outside of the WAMP folder) to old_ohp.ini.
The error is unrelated to PHP. It means you are somehow relying on Apache's mod_deflate, but that Apache module is not loaded. Try enabling mod_deflate in httpd.conf or commenting out the offending line (search for DEFLATE in httpd.conf).
As for the PHP curl extension, you must make sure it's activated in php.ini. Make sure extension_diris set to the directory php_curl.dll is in:
extension_dir = "C:/whatever"
and then add
extension=php_curl.dll
The steps are as follows:
Close WAMP (if running)
Navigate to WAMP\bin\php\<your version of PHP>
Edit file php.ini
Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
Navigate to WAMP\bin\Apache\<your version of Apache>\bin\
Edit file php.ini
Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
Save both
Restart WAMP
I think cURL doesn't work with WAMP 2.2e. I tried all your solutions, but it still did not work. I got the previous version, (2.2d) and it works.
So just download the previous version :D
Well, just uninstall WAMP 64-bit and go with the 32-bit version. It worked in my case.
This is how I've managed to load CURL correctly. In my case php was installed from zip package, so I had to add php directory to PATH environment variable.
Ensure that your system PATH environment variable contains the directory in which PHP is installed.
Stop the Apache server and restart it once more. With luck CURL will start working.
This work for me: http://www.mediafire.com/?3ay381k3cq59cm2
download a paste the file in ext folder
PHP 5.4.3
I had the problem with not working curl on win8 wamp3 php5.6. Reinstalling wamp (x64 version as I had x64 in system info) made it work fine.
uncomment "curl=cainfo" in the php.ini document
This helped me when installing Prestashop when all other methods still did not work.
This is what worked for me

"There seems to be a bug somewhere. If you are experiencing this on Win 7 64 bit then try installing apache addon version 2.2.9 and php addon version 5.3.1 and switching to those in WAMP and then activating the CURL extension. That worked for me."
My Wampserver is orange and won't change.
When I go onto the Apache error log i get
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3

I understand that this is a fairly common problem relating to the php_curl.dll. However I have tried many solutions and none work. I have tried both php 5.4.3 dll fixes(anindya's blog) and replaced the dll file in \wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\ext. Curl is ticked and active in the php.ini file. extension_dir = "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/ext/" ( Where the curl is located)
php_curl.dll libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll have been copied from c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/ext/ into C:\Windows\system32.
Is there anything else that could be causing this error I am merely trying to install Zend and its just been so complicated trying to get it to work.
I am running Wamp 2.2 on windows 7 64 bit. I have restarted WAMP after making changes.
1st. You close WAMP if you are using.
2nd. You'll %WAMP% / bin / php / (tuversion)
3rd. Edit php.ini -> Find the word curl, uncomment remove the semicolon) extension = php_curl.dll and guards
4th. Now you %WAMP% /bin/apache/(your_version)/bin
5th. You edit the php.ini -> Find the word curl, same uncomment (remove the semicolon) extension = php_curl.dll and guards
6th. Lift the WAMP again and ready.
Should work this..
The 64bit version of WAMP distributed with unusable curl extension.
Get one here instead (scroll down near end of post, titled Fixed curl extensions):
http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/
I am using WAMP for my 64 bit machine and faced this issue.
I tried the above specified solutions but still was facing the same error. The problem I found was with the php_curl.dll file inside my php/php-version/ext folder.
I replaced it with another php_curl.dll file downloaded from here
https://www.filesanywhere.com/fs/v.aspx?v=8a726a8a596273b7a6af
Replacing the original file with this file solved my issue and curl_init() function started working fine.
Before copying, stop your wamp server and then restart it again.
I hope this helps.
cannot load c:/PHP5/php5apache2_2.dll into server I am getting this error while running apache 2.2 on window XP machine
anyone have any idea what could be the problem. I can see there is no php5apache2_2.dll in c:/php5 folder.
What worked for me was obtaining php5apache2_4.dll-php-5.4-win32.zip from
apachelounge and using "php5apache2_4.dll" file from the "PHP 5.4.8" unzipped folder. I had apache 2.3.4 (32-bit) from apachelounge.com and php 5.4.9 (32-bit) from windows.php.net installed on my Win 7 (64-bit).
The dll worked despite 5.4.8 - 5.4.9 mismatch.
The corrsponding changes within "php.ini" and "httpd.conf" are to be maintained acoording to this helpful guide.
Best regards.
First you must downlaod de .dll file (php5apache2_2.dll)
then put it in your extensions directory.
Then edit your php.ini file, find de text:
;extension=php5apache2_2.dll
// and change y to
extension=php5apache2_2.dll
if the text is not present put the line yourself.
Then restart apache and it should load your extension.
PD: you can see where your extensions directory is located looking
for the text "extension_dir" in your php.ini, sometimes looks like:
extension_dir = C:\php\extensions
Hope this help you, if not please paste the error here, you can find
an error log file in apache/error/error.log or something like that.
You should download the dll file from PHP distribution package. And see three ways to set up PHP to work with Apache 2.x.
You can configure PHP as Apache handler in <[apache_home]>\conf\httpd.conf as follow:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
#configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir 'C:\php\'
NOTE: To avoid the error while starting apache, the php ini dir path should be in single quotes with backslash. Don't forget to end it with backslash.
Here is how I got it to GO:
Created the folder C:\Apache
Downloaded and installed http-2.2.22-win32-x86-no-ssl.msi
During install, entered localhost as Network Domain and Server Name
From browser, typed in url http://localhost/ and page came up with "It Works"
(I do not know if there is a God, but took that as a good sign:)
Created the folder C:\PHP
Downloaded and installed php-5.2.17-Win32-VC6-86.msi
Created a new file in notepad with the following:
Saved it in the Apache/htdocs folder as phpinfo.php
From browser, typed in url http://127.0.0.1/phpinfo.php
It did not work (i.e. it did not run the .php program file)
Hmm, oh yeah, you have to restart Apache for it to see updates to its
own configuration file
Start, Apache, Control..
-> generated the error that it could not find C:\Apache\php5apache2_2.dll
Well, I found it in C:\PHP and I copied it to C:\Apache\
Start, Apache, Control..
-> generated an error about a problem with the PHPINIDir directive on line 495 of C:/Apache/conf/httpd.conf
Fixed that by editing this line in the above file to
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP/php.ini"
Tried to restart Apache again, run the test file in the browser.
Still, it did not work:(
Recalled seeing this before and decided to reboot computer
Restarted (or started) the Apache Server
Ran the test file again..
IT WORKED!
Note that in some of the above I may have mixed up some forward and back slashes
Good luck!
You are getting an error due to the fact that the c:/PHP5/php5apache2_2.dll is not shipped with the non-thread safe version of PHP that you probably downloaded. Two options:
Download and install the thread safe version of PHP instead and you
will get everything you need.
If the non-thread safe version is important to what you want to accomplish, download the zip bundle of the thread safe version and take only the .dll you need from there.
Which version: For Apache Server 2.2, you need to download PHP 5.4 thread safe, which is shipped with both php5apache2_2.dll and php5apache2_4.dll. Some earlier versions probably work as well. PHP 5.5 is only shipped with php5apache2_4.dll which will mismatch with your version.
Cf the download links here on the official site: http://windows.php.net/download/.
Please check that for using Apache you should download VC6 version of PHP. If you use VC9 Apache will not start. It is clearly given in the site.
http://in3.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.manual.php
For me the problem was resolved by replacing the file php5apache2_2.dll from another site, somehow the file downloaded from the php.net site was corrupt.
I had already the file php5apache2_2.dll on my wamp 2.2 and the PHP version 5.3.13 so I just copied that file into my version 5.4.35 and it worked.
I did not have to mess with the apache configuration as other people suggest.
One more thing I did was to install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2008 for my x64 machine running Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. I don't think this helped since I had already the x86 version and working with my previous PHP version, but is part of the action I taken.
None of the suggestions above worked for me. I tried replacing the php5apache2_2.dll file and restarting everything, but got the same error. I ended up uninstalling Apache, MySQL, and PHP, removing the path variables, and then installing WampServer. Had everything up and running in less than 5 minutes.
By the way, I uninstalled PHP by just deleting the folder in Program Files, since it did not turn up in Add/Remove Programs. I also deleted any leftover Apache and MySQL folders after the uninstalls.
Even file exist and apache shows error that this file don't exists, install Microsoft C++ Redistributable Package. Note, that you have to install 2008 version, then 2010. Install both packages, not only 2010 version.
I've had a similar problem. I found out after following a particular Youtube tutorial that if you go and edit the httpd.conf file while Apache is running... it will mess up.
Make sure that you install Apache first... then turn it off, then install php afterward. It should then edit the httpd.conf file itself. This Youtube tutorial solved my problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKbEzmMliNM
Hope it helps. I got MySQL installed and working too... but had to install the .Net 4 Framework.
You need to install "http-2.2.22-win32-x86-no-ssl.msi" instead.
I had the same error.
I had installed x64 version of Apache and x86 version of php.
After a lof of searching I found that this doesn't work.
So I had to install x64 (threadsafe) version of PHP.
After this Apache works fine . :)
Hope this helps!
If your php5apache2_4.dll is missing:
My problem was the php5apache2_4.dll was not included in PHP install zip. It is included only the Thread Safe version of PHP 5.4.38
http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-5.4.38-Win32-VC9-x86.zip
Update: The problem appears to have been corrupt DLLs somewhere in my PHP installation, or possibly a bug in PHP 5.2.9 on Win2k. I downloaded the windows (binaries-only) distribution of PHP 5.2.10 from php.net and extracted that to my c:\PHP directory. After doing that, everything worked fine.
Update2: I undid everything that I tried earlier (everything from the bulleted list below), except that I left "extension=php_curl.dll" uncommented in my php.ini file. It turns out that is all you should have to do in a proper installation.
I'm trying to get CURL to work on a Windows installation of PHP (version 5.2.9-2), and I am at wit's end. I have found the PHP CURL installation page, this SO question which references this page, and this SO question. I've tried most of the suggestions in all of those pages but I still get an error. Here is my very simple test page:
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
?>
<b>Success!</b>
This gives me:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\ApacheRoot\curltest.php on line 2
In my Apache error log I get this each time the server starts:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\PHP\\ext\\php_curl.dll' - The specified procedure could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
I have done the following:
Uncommented the following line in php.ini: extension=php_curl.dll
Copied ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll from C:\PHP to C:\WINNT\System32
Downloaded cURL for Win32 from curl.haxx.se and extracted the .zip file to C:\cURL
Added C:\cURL to my system PATH environment variable.
Verified that:
php.ini includes extension_dir="C:\PHP\ext"
The directory C:\PHP\ext contains php_curl.dll
The only php.ini file on my system is in C:\PHP (i.e. especially that there is no C:\WINNT\php.ini)
The Apache httpd.conf file includes the line PHPIniDir "C:/PHP/"
I have also rebooted the machine (several times, in fact...).
You don't have to reboot the computer, just restart the apache and the php module will read the new ini.
Did you change the correct php.ini? In case of doubt
<?php echo 'php.ini: ', get_cfg_var('cfg_file_path'); ?>
can tell you.
Is there something in the error.log of the apache that indicates that something went wrong while loading php and the php_curl.dll?
Did you start the apache as a win32 service? If you did try to start it as a console application. Error messages will show up on the console then. Or start it as a service and take a look at the error.log file and the windows event log (start, run, eventvwr.msc /s).
edit:
"The specified procedure could not be found"
You need a dll that is compatible with your php version and build. Exactly what did you install and where did you get it from?
Try this:
Stop WAMP completely.
Find your WAMP folder: C:\Path\To\WAMP\bin\Apache\ApacheVersion\bin\
Edit that php.ini and uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
Restart WAMP.
That should hopefully solve it.
*EDIT: Do the same thing # C:\Path\To\WAMP\bin\php\PHPVersion\
This is what worked for me

This fixed it for me:
Go to here:
http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/
Download 'php_curl-5.3.13-VC9-x64.zip'
Stop WAMP Server from Running
Extract the file 'php_curl.dll'.
On your local machine, browse to (or where your WAMP installation is found) c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13\ext
Rename php_curl.dll to php_curl.dll.old (or whatever you choose) and then copy the new file into the above directory.
Restart WAMP Server
All should be working ok now.
I had the same problem with php-5.5.26-Win32-VC11-x64 (on Windows) and I tried everything listed here with no luck. Finally I got it working by adding PHP installation directory to windows Path.
With PHP 5.6.9 on Windows Server Core 2012 x64 cURL was not working, not showing up in phpinfo despite uncommenting php_curl.dll extension in my php.ini and restarting the Apache 2.4 service. Added the php path and the php\ext path to my $evn:path. No joy.
Fix: I didn’t need to download any other php_curl.dll file and couldn’t find one for PHP 5.6 anyway. What finally worked was to copy these three files into the Apache24\bin folder then restart Apache:
libeay32.dll
libssh2.dll
ssleay32.dll
Copying these to System or System32 was not needed.
If the problem persists after you uncomment the module from both php.ini files (that people are already talking about and which are located on apache folder and php folder) and even after you check that you got the php_curl.dll ** at
C:\WAMP\bin\php\php5.3.13\ext
YOU SHOULD TRY TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL DLL THAT COMES WITH WAMPSERVER with one from this website:

Hope it helps.
I have Windows 2003 Standard, IIS 6, PHP, MySQL and amy trying to get mcrypt working so I can use phpMyAdmin.
I have uncommended php_mcrypt.dll in php.ini and this file is in my extensions folder (c:\php).
I have downloaded libmcrypt.dll to c:\php, c:\php\ext, c:\windows, c:\windows\system32. I have also found a second version of this file on the next and tried that. After each change I have restarted IIS.
Whatever I try mcrypt does not seem to be loaded when I check php_info();. But there are no errors showing.
Is there another version of php_mcrypt.dll? does anyone have a version of phpMyAdmin that does not need mcrypt? Has anyone experienced this problem / have a solution?
All help will be greatly apprecaited.
Many thanks,
Tim
I had the same problem and found that the version of libmcrypt.dll I had was corrupt and when I downloaded a version from the net it was fine. As you have already done this I doubt this helps?
We had the same issue on W2k3(x64)/IIS6/PHP5.2.17. Copying libmcrypt.dll to %WINDIR%\SysWOW64 and an IISRESET solved the problem.
Make sure your extension_dir in php.ini points to the right path (e.g. c:/php5/ext)
Try restarting windows after each change instead of IIS.
libmcrypt.dll only has to be in c:\windows\system32
To be sure mcrypt is (not) loaded, use phpinfo() to check.
I'm also having difficulty getting mcrypt to load, but above has helped me a lot in getting closer to a solution.
Try starting php from the commandline with php -m. It will show you a list of loaded modules.
I was having a weird issue with Win 2k3 Server + IIS 6 + PHP 5.2.9 + mcrypt as well. As soon as I added the mcrypt (or mhash for that matter) extension, fastcgi just timed out. When I removed those extensions from php.ini I see my phpinfo() page as expected. The really weird part was that I could see the module loaded when I run php -m from the command line.
I grabbed all of the dlls from XAMPP (in the php folder) and stuck them all in my PHP installation folder (C:\Program Files\PHP for me). After making the the change to my php.ini
extension=php_mcrypt.dll
I restarted IIS completely rather than recycling the App Pool and my phpinfo page worked as expected. I am not sure why but fastcgi wasn't able to "see" the libraries in the system32 folder, I had to put them in my php root folder.
Good luck.
In my case, my site gave the error "PHP Warning: mcrypt_decrypt()..."
I use IIS6 - Plesk - PHP 2.5
So, I updated PHP version in Plesk CP to 5.3 and then the error disappeared.
Hope this helps somebody.
