Question

I have to set up curl on my windows 7 box for development. I’ve never had to use curl before so I’m lost on the install procedure. I’ve downloaded the binary executable and unpacked it. There is only the executable and no documentation. I can run the binary from the command prompt with no problems but where do I put this file?

Are there any other libraries that are required to use it with PHP? There is not much documentation on the curl site. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, something that has me a little worried is that I’ve uncommented the curl option in my php.ini file and when I restart Apache, Apache crashes. Why is this?

apache error 1067

I am not sure I understood your use use case completely, but looks like what you need is the libcurl.dll and not the curl executable itself.
