How to enable cURL in PHP / XAMPP

Question

How do I enable cURL in PHP?

​​

Answer 1

Since XAMPP went through some modifications, the file is now at xampp/php/php.ini.

Answer 2

In SUSE Linux:

zypper in php5-curl
rcapache2 restart

Answer 3

If you're are using MAMP, cURL is enabled by default.

Answer 4

Actually I did it by uncommenting extension=php_curl.dll in the xampp\apache\bin\php.ini file.

Answer 5

Basic tip: After enabling the CURL in php.ini file, you need to restart the web server to make it work (my experience says).

Answer 6

Steps for Windows 7:

1. Ensure that the php.ini file that the PHP engine uses is the one you think it is.
2. Ensure extension_dir in php.ini is correctly set to the ext folder
3. Ensure extension=php_curl.dll in the php.ini is uncommented

Finally and maybe the one most people don't know: 4. Ensure that there are these two files in the Windows System32 folder: libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll If not there, you may copy these two files from the php folder.
