On “xampp-win32-1.6.2-installer.exe” you will Have 4 php files to edit:

C:\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini
C:\xampp\php\php.ini
C:\xampp\php\php4\php.ini
C:\xampp\php\php4\php4.ini

Open the files one at a time With “Notepad++” Press Ctrl F And search\Find “cUrl”, You will See “;extension=php_curl.dll” all you have to do is REMOVE THE ” ; ” from all 4 files Make them:
extension=php_curl.dll And Restart The Xampp Server. Now Curl Support will be on.
