Dmitry there is an error with your code. I was testing and of course it was giving me a false positive. curl_open is not a function, curl_init is what you should have tested with. Once I made the change I was getting a message saying cURL was enabled.

echo ‘cURL is’.(function_exists(‘curl_init’) ? ” : ‘ not’).’ installed’;

Hi Dmitry

Auch, that code is so much cleaner and simpler. Thank you for that tip, I never even thought to use the function_exists() function.

Thanks

You may also use ‘function_exists’ function to check that. Simple code will be:
echo ‘cURL is’.(function_exists(‘curl_open’) ? ” : ‘ not’).’ installed’;
