Answer 1

You can check if curl is enabled in your PHP installation by reviewing a phpinfo() file.

And if it's not installed.

Use the following steps to install curl:

1. Open https://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz?type=bin in a browser.
2. Select your operating system in the dropdown box: either Windows /Win32 or Win 64. Click Select!
3. For Win 32, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or in a Cygwin terminal (cygwin). For Win 64, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or MinGW (MinGW64). Click Select!
4. If required, choose your Windows operating system. Finish.
5. Click Download for the version which has SSL enabled or disabled
6. Open the downloaded zip file. Extract the files to an easy-to-find place, such as C:\Program Files.

Testing curl

1. Open up the Windows Command Prompt terminal. (From the Start menu, click Run, then type cmd.)

2. Set the path to include the directory where you put curl.exe. For example, if you put it in C:\Program Files\curl, then you would type the following command: set path=%path%;"c:\Program Files\curl"

NOTE: You can also directly copy the curl.exe file any existing path in your path

Type curl. You should see the following message: curl: try 'curl –help' or 'curl –message' for more information This means that curl is installed and the path is correct.

The steps are as follows :

1. Close WAMP (if running)
2. Navigate to WAMP\bin\php\(your version of php)\
3. Edit php.ini
4. Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
5. Navigate to WAMP\bin\Apache\(your version of apache)\bin\
6. Edit php.ini
7. Search for curl, uncomment extension=php_curl.dll
8. Save both
9. Restart WAMP

You can find the line in the php.ini file: ;extension=php_curl.dll

Remove ; at the beginning of this line. And you may need to restart apache server.
