People keep asking how to download cURL and install it in XAMPP. The answer is that you do not need to download anything. Curl is already built into xampp , has been for a long time!

There is only ONE file in xampp that needs to be changed to enable curl, that is in your /apache/bin/php.ini file

Uncomment extension=php_curl.dll and restart apache and you are DONE!

Do you know what version of PHP is running on your web server. A quick way to tell is to create a file on the server that contains the following single line of code

<?php phpinfo() ?>

Just create the file and then pull it up in a web browser. You will find out everything you need to know about the PHP installation running on the server.
