How to enable cURL in PHP XAMPP

Question

How do I enable cURL in PHP?

Answer 1

Hello @kartik,

Since you're using XAMPP, uncomment the line

;extension=php_curl.dll

in xampp\apache\bin\php.ini, and then restart the Apache service.

NB: In newer XAMPP versions, PHP has moved to root xampp folder xampp\php\php.ini.

Hope it helps!!

Thank You!!

Hi Niroj,

But in my case, the line in php.in is showing as "extension=curl'. There is no such line (extension=php_curl.dll) available as you mentioned..And cURL is not active in my XAMPP. Also i am unable to run some applications due to this. How to go about it?

Hello @Manu,

Find your php.ini file in the xampp installation folder  commonly under xampp\php\php.ini   for latest versions. 

If you haven't find it update your xampp and then do the above step
