actually, that sounds more like your PHP doesn’t have curl installed, which doesn’t have anything to do with being in Apache or Lighthttpd.

Curl is the standard accepted method to use these days for connecting with other web sites.

I’d check your PHP install using phpinfo() to see if you have curl installed or not with php.

Any help diagnosing this error?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in /home/andi/web/the-corrado.net/twitter/mysig.php on line 45
Located here: http://the-corrado.net/twitter/mysig.php
so e.g. http://the-corrado.net/twitter/mysig.php?name=freekrai

I run Lighttpd instead of Apache, which does support cURL, but perhaps I need to tweak the code to get it to work correctly? Bit out of my depth here but I was wondering if this was relevant:
