Today when I was making some modifications and additions to my Raspberry Pi Screen Project, I discovered a problem when trying to use CURL to pull an XML file in PHP on the Raspberry Pi. I was getting some errors which I wasn’t getting when testing on my web hosting.

- First find what version of PHP you are running. Open a terminal and type the command php -version
- Here I am running 7.3 so I will use the line sudo apt-get install php7.3-curl
- If you have a different version of PHP, run the line that is correct for you.
- PHP 7.4:
sudo apt-get install php7.4-curl - PHP 7.3:
sudo apt-get install php7.3-curl - PHP 7.2:
sudo apt-get install php7.2-curl - PHP 7.1:
sudo apt-get install php7.1-curl - PHP 7.0:
sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl
You are a hero! Just got me through a tricky rasp-webserver problem 🙂
