Hi there,

I try to install php with the curl extension on my 2.6.23.12-52.fc7 GNU/Linux. As far as I know I should search for the php-curl package with yum by typeing this:

[root@james ~]# yum search php-curl
fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00
updates 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00
No Matches found

but as you can see the result is negative - no php-curl found.

I guess the repo are in place because I can find allmost any other package.

[root@james ~]# yum search php-mysql
fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00
updates 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00
php-mysql.i386 : A module for PHP applications that use MySQL databases
php-mysql.i386 : A module for PHP applications that use MySQL databases

etc ...

What can I try and don't tell me to google it cuz I've already did that for a whole day now.

Hi
Please try to install the following
packages as per your requirement(these are the RPMs i have seen on my RHEL4 distro).
1. curl-7.12.1-3.i386.rpm
2. curl-devel-7.12.1-3.i386.rpm
rgds
bil

thanks bil but could you be more specific in how should I don that becasue I barely know how to install anything under linux and that's the main reason I'm using yum.

Regards,
Jamesz

Please try
#yum install curl
rgds
bil

You can also try this:
yum list php*
you will get a list of all packages that start with php
On my Fedora 8, I see one called php-pear-Net-Curl
I hope that helps
