   Thanks a ton! Lot of results on the web, but nothing worked. It seems like they are not aware of multiple php.ini present. Yours worked for me perfectly!

    windows XP SP 3 – with the 2009 August XAMP the ini is only in the php folder (makes sense) after uncommenting i registgered the dlls in the windows folder (after copying them from the xamp\php folder) ….

    also added the php folder with all the dlls and the apache/bin to my System Path var

    but no curl!

    now restarting PC!

    Perfect, thank you.

    I expect restarting Apache would be required more often then not. It was for me, so might be worth adding it to the list just to avoid confusion.

    - in php\php.ini, extension=php_curl.dll was already uncommented.
    - I don’t see php.ini in Apache directory
    - I don’t see also *libcurl* named files.
    - I’m getting “Warning: include_once(simple_html_dom.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ” message in my browser.

    Thanks man, it worked.
    P.S.: The cURL library is included in xampp, you need only to uncomment the requested lines in the configuration files. Happy coding

    Please follow the steps for curl:

    1. Locate XAMPP install directory
    2. open php/php.ini
    3. do a search for the word ‘curl’ and uncomment (remove the leading semicolon) that line
    4. save & close
    5. open apache/bin/php.ini
    6. search for curl, uncomment as before
    7. save & close
    8. restart apache

    Hi Progress – Gosh, Im not sure what WHMCS is, but it sounds like you need to have SSL support running as well, which is also an Apache mod like cURL. Do you have OpenSSL running? You may need to get both running, then shut down XAMPP and restart it. Let me know if any of this helps.
27. Progress says:

    October 6, 2008 at 9:53 pm

    I also did what u say.. … uncommented but still it says “You must have CURL installed with SSL Support for WHMCS to function correctly” ….

    any help with this problem?

    hi jonah, curl is a module in php, identified by libcurl. In XAMPP, this comes pre-packaged, but not pre-installed. You may want to try restarting your XAMPP server, via xampp-control.exe which should be in your xampp root directory.
37. johan says:

    April 8, 2007 at 8:10 am

    Do you have to install curl or does it come with XAMPP?

    I did phpinfo() and curl doesn’t show up, even though I uncommented it as you directed.

    Thanks if you can help.
