How to enable curl in xampp ?

My PHP twitter application needs curl function. But it is not enabled in XAMPP. how to enable it. I found no options for doing that.

Answer 1

It should be available in php.ini file. You need to un-comment the line for curl extension.

Answer 2

First, make sure you have libcurl (see: http://curl.haxx.se) installed. Then make sure your copy of PHP has been compiled with the --with-curl[=DIR] flag. For more info see:

• http://au.php.net/manual/en/curl.requirements.php
• http://au.php.net/manual/en/curl.installation.php

If XAMPP comes pre-compiled with cURL you may just need to enable the extension in your php.ini file (usually by removing a semicolon at the start of the line which includes the extension).

Answer 3

In XAMPP installation directory, open %XAMPP_HOME%/php/php.ini file. Uncomment the following line: extension=php_curl.dll

PS: If that doesn't work then check whether %XAMPP_HOME%/php/ext/php_curl.dll file exist or not.
