Installing pecl extention httprequest without direct access

PHP
1

all i want to do is make a request with some php variables
but apparently i have to install the pecl extension httprequest in order to do so
there are guides on how to do so on a linux and windows machine
but i dont have direct access to the server, all i can do is put files in the public_html folder via ftp, and i also have mysql access
there MUST be an easier way to do this, all i want to do is make a simple php request

I think there are other ways of doing this, can you tell us a little bit more about what you want to achieve?

If you want to send an HTTP request to specific web address you should use http://us3.php.net/curl.

on that page there are instructions for installing curl on windows and linux when u have direct access to the server

i dont know how to be more clear about what i am trying to do

Are you sure cURL is not enabled anyway?

try this


<?php 
echo '<pre>'; 
var_dump(curl_version()); 
echo '</pre>'; 
?>
