How would you install Curl to work with PHP?

I had Curl and PHP installed. I got an error in a php script that said:

Notice: Use of undefined constant CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT

after googleing around a bit i found that this particular variable is defined in libcurl and that I don't have libcurl installed to work with PHP:

The constants below are defined by this extension, and will only be available when the extension has either been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.

So there has to be some command to emerge curl or php so the extension is compiled into php but I really have no clue how.

here's where i got that: http://theserverpages.com/php/manual/en/ref.curl.php

can anyone help me?

thanks,
lateralus

I believe all your are missing is the curl USE flag for php, or perhaps curlwrapper.

What does `emerge -pv php` return?

Are you sure you actually have php installed at present?

That output suggests otherwise...

First you should add "curl curlwrappers" to your USE flags in /etc/make.conf (or package.use), and then re-install, and you should be all set.

No problem.

Edit your first post and add [SOLVED] to the title?
