CURL

What is Curl?
PHP supports libcurl, a library created by Daniel Stenberg, that allows you to connect and communicate to many different types of servers with many different types of protocols. In plain English, it transmits data from one server to another.

Maian Guardian requires the Curl functions are active on your server if you wish to use this option. If not, the post will fail and no license data will be logged.

Maian Guardian will support any routine that can send a HTTP post.

Follow the instructions below to check if the CURL module is installed on your server.
PHP Info Method
Create a new PHP file, call it 'curl.php'. Inside this file type the following only:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
Upload to any public location on the server where you'll be transmitting license data and access in your browser to view the PHP info. Scroll down to see if the Curl functions are available.



If they aren't, you need to recompile your server WITH curl support or contact your hosting company. Once this is done, check the 'curl.php' file again. If all is well, you should delete this file from your server.
Curl Init Check Method
A simpler method is just to see if the curl_init function is present. If it is, Curl is installed.

Create a new PHP file, call it 'curl.php'. Inside this file type the following only:

<?php
echo (function_exists('curl_init') ? 'OK' : 'FAIL');
?>
Upload to any public location on the server where you'll be transmitting license data and access in your browser. If you see 'OK', curl is installed. If you see 'FAIL', it isn't and you need to recompile your server WITH curl support or contact your hosting company.
