PHP and cURL?

Hey, I have installed XXAMP in my local machine which runs XP.
Im currently running php 4.?.?, and it needs the cURL function to make queries to an outside site.

For some reason in my phpinfo() cURL is no where to be found.

Is it an option that just needs to be turned on?
or
How do I install?

Thanks

 

Assuming that you are running apache with php on windows.

You will first need the curl dll for php. It should have been included with the php download, otherwise you will need to download the php_curl.dll.

Make a curl folder on the same level as the php folder, and put the php_curl.dll in it.

Then you should just need to uncomment the curl line in your php.ini file.
extension=php_curl.dll

Restart Apache and it should work.

here is a tutorial I found that should also work.
