I am developing an application that requires integration with Google APIs Client Library for PHP. I am running on LAMP stack on Ubuntu. I have the application up and running on my local host. When I integrate the code from Google API PHP client I get the following error:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Google CurlIO client requires the CURL PHP extension
I am unable to find help in any other forum. Can someone please point me to a solution to this. I suspect this could be somehow related to me developing and running the application in my local folder instead of var/www. I have added a file called mysite and pointing Apache to run from a local folder though.
