SMS Twilio API errors in command line but no errors in the browser but not sending messages

Question

I had twilio working for some time now, but I wanted to make some changes and save the numbers that are coming with sending errors in a database to avoid sending them again, and somehow, Twilio stopped working. I used it from the browser which shows no errors, but I got these errors when I tried to run the script file from the command line.

Any help is appreciated.

It is the porblem. Fixed it by doing this: sudo apt-get install php5-curl restart the server: sudo service apache2 restart — Hussam Hallak, Jan 05 '17 at 20:11

Depending on your php version and web server version, use the following command. sudo apt install php70-curl AND sudo apachectl restart OR sudo nginx -s reload on Ubuntu server. – Alvin Chettiar Oct 09 '17 at 18:32

The package is just php-curl, eg sudo apt-get install php-curl. This will then install the correct version for your system, eg with the command above: 'The following NEW packages will be installed: php-curl php7.2-curl' – Anthony Feb 14 '18 at 01:28

N.B. First of all, you need to install php curl Before installing it you must ensure which version of php you are using and you need to install the same version for php curl.

Install php curl

php --version
// PHP 8.1.14
sudo apt-get install php8.1-curl

Do not forget to restart apache server

sudo systemctl restart apache2
