Php Module help (cUrl) / Alternative

[squirrelbacon]

Hey, I am trying to make a script to check if someone is signed onto aim, so far I've found that I need to use cURL,

So I go to enable / install cURL, I uncomment the module in php.ini, then I made sure the .dll was in the ext folder and it was.

Next I put the libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll in my C:/WINDOWS folder with my other dlls.

I start up apache and get this error:

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\PHP\ext\php_curl.dll' - THe specified module could not be found.

I got an error simular to this when I was setting up MySQL, It wasnt a problem witht he ext\php_mysql.dll, it was that I didnt add the libmysql to the windows folder when I did that mysql worked, but it didnt work for cURL...

So am I missing a step in the installation? Or do you have an alternative to curl?


Server info: Apache 2.0 - PHP 5.0.5

Forgot to say, it is on a windows server, hmmm maybe I can figure out how to do that, in windows

I just read http://www.tonyspencer.com/mt/archives/2003/10/curl_with_php_a.htm and it didn't help me, It looks like he was using php4 so I best find one for php5
