Enable cURL with XAMPP

Submitted by rcastera on Tue, 05/04/2010 - 13:46

cURL is disabled by default in your XAMPP installation. To enable it, you have to modify the php.ini files in your XAMPP folder. Follow the steps below to get it up and running.

  1. Locate the following files:
    C:\Program Files\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini
C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.ini
C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php4\php.ini
  2. Uncomment the following line on your php.ini file by removing the semicolon.
    ;extension=php_curl.dll
  3. Restart your Apache server.
  4. Check your phpinfo if curl was properly enabled.
