How do I install php-curl in CentOS 8?

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

    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

    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    You probably have an outdated version of the curl library.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)
