How to use cURL with XAMPP

I was asked the other day how to get cURL to work with XAMPP and whether or not installing cURL was necessary. cURL is a module in PHP which comes prepackaged with XAMPP and XAMPP Lite. It is installed, however not enabled by default. To enable it, just follow these simple steps:

  1. Locate XAMPP install directory
  2. open php/php.ini
  3. do a search for the word ‘curl’ and uncomment (remove the leading semicolon) that line
  4. save & close
  5. open apache/bin/php.ini
  6. search for curl, uncomment as before
  7. save & close
  8. restart apache

Congratulations. cURL is now enabled for use!

    As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said,
