Question

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library \'/usr/lib/php/20131226/curl.so\' - /usr/lib/php/20131226/curl.so: undefined symbol: zend_unset_

Answer 1

Update php5.6(-common) to a newer version. This can be done using apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. You have just updated php5.6-curl to the latest version but it depends on a newer php5.6.

Answer 2

Same issue on php7. Just did a apt-get dist-upgrade and now the warning is gone and curl works properly. Hope it helps!

Answer 3

If anyone is facing the same Problem with php 7.0. I removed the old "curl" with sudo apt-get remove "curl" and installed the Version for php 7.0 with sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl.

The Message is now gone and everything is working fine.
