How to Enable CURL in WAMP?

Posted by 8 February, 2011

CURL is not enabled by default in WAMP. Every php programmer have to use CURL to make remote connection.

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

That will solve your Curl issues.
Enjoy!

What type of server you are using WAMP, MAMP, XAMP ?

Do you have php_curl.dll in your system ?

Please check and let me know.

I am using XAMPP and having the same problem as George. It’s running on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit, and I’m suspecting it’s due to heightened security in Windows. Any ideas what I need to do to get it to work? Thanks!

Never mind – it turns out the php extension path was not correctly defined.

But you should mention remove semi colon ; instead of uncomment.

wamp installer doesn’t have Curl by default first you need to download binaries and then configure..

look at this

http://www.technoreaders.com/2009/07/26/curl-on-wamp/

they explained how to do that.

works great. Thanks. most often people does mistake to edit the 2nd php.ini you need to figureout which is the correct path and that can be easily done if you use http://localhost/?phpinfo=1 and search for “Loaded Configuration File” this gives the perfect locatio nthe nini file

Thanks buddy. its worked for me. If you are using wamp then you have to edit the file located at: \wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.17\bin\php.ini

I’m using WAMP 2.2 and I too had the same problem.

I downloaded php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip from http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/

Replace php_curl.dll in wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\ext with the one I downloaded.

Restart WAMP and It’s working

replace the php.curl file in the php folder(under ext) of wamp, replace with an older version of php-5-4-0 if you are using 5.43 or so. instruction is here-http://www.o3n.org/2012/06/wamp-server-2-2-windows-7-64-bit-and-curl-also-for-windows-8/-

Thank you for this post. My situation was the same than Bruno: the one which worked was: http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-0-x64-64-bit-for-windows/ (Wamp 2.2, Windows 7, PHP 5.4.3).
Thanks a lot.

Thanks! (Wamp 2.2)

remove the ;. Yes, and click Wamp server icon/PHP -> PHP extensions -> click the php_curl.

**Do not worry** too much

**Just replace your curl.dill file with this**
