How do I install php-curl in CentOS 8?

Question

How do I quickly install php-curl on CentOS 8? It doesn't seem to be available in the base software repository, or even Not available at EPEL either.

Update:

[root@example ~]# dnf repolist            
repo id                                 repo name

Quite late, but for anyone else with the same issue, I found it was due to upgrading PHP (from 5.6 to 7.2 in my case); not all the dependencies were properly updated.

Try diagnosing by opening PHP in the shell (just type php). If you see a warning like so (note the undefined symbol: curl_pushheader_bynum toward the end):

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'curl' (tried: /usr/lib64/php/modules/curl (/usr/lib64/php/modules/curl: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib64/php/modules/curl.so (/usr/lib64/php/modules/curl.so: undefined symbol: curl_pushheader_bynum)) in Unknown on line 0

You probably have an outdated version of the curl library. Don't know why the php-common package isn't set with a version dependency for this so it gets upgraded, but I fixed it with dnf update libcurl. Restarted php/nginx and it was off and running!

(note: if you aren't using dnf, you should just be able to use yum instead i.e. yum update libcurl)

Installing PHP extensions are simple with the following syntax.

sudo yum install php-extension_name

Now you can install some commonly used php-extensions for CentOs with the following command.

sudo yum install -y php-dom php-simplexml php-ssh2 php-xml php-xmlreader php-curl php-date php-exif php-filter php-ftp php-gd php-hash php-iconv php-json php-libxml php-pecl-imagick php-mbstring php-mysqlnd php-openssl php-pcre php-posix php-sockets php-spl php-tokenizer php-zlib

Sorry, it's still not working, I updated the issue, please tell me what the problem is? Thank you! – Lorraine1996 Jul 18 '20 at 09:04
`yum` isn't applicable to CentOS 8, it's been replaced by `dnf`; also, `php-curl` is now an alias to `php-common`, which is already installed. – Doktor J Dec 02 '21 at 17:18

`curl` and `php-common` (to which `php-curl` aliases) are already installed and I'm still getting this error, as was OP evidently (since 2020-07-18) – Doktor J Dec 02 '21 at 17:19
