cURL stands for Client for URLs. It allows us to transfer files having URL syntax. It supports FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, LDAP, LDAPS and FILE.
To enable curl library with XAMPP we need to modify the php.ini files in our xampp folder.
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.

Wonderful article. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Many thanks! Your post save a lot of my time. Now cURL works on my Xampp perfectly :)
Hey thanks! it worked.
I found php.ini only at one location
C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.ini
not the other two.
What am I missing?
And where will I check phpinfo to see curl is properly enabled
Need help as I am new
thanks a million! :)
To check the PHP info, create a PHP file and put just this in it:
Run it, press Ctrl-F, and search for cURL. If it doesn't come up, it didn't work. If it does show up, you installed cURL successfully.
Or just try running a script with curl_init() in it. If it says the function doesn't exist, it wasn't installed successfully.
I am using xampp.
I removed the comment from all the files.
Even I restarted the machine.
No response.
Actually when i call the CURL function, no further execution.
Can someone give me idea???
Working! Thanks :)
it is really working. Thank you for sharing.
