- Open php.ini and find curl, uncomment the first find you see. Save and close file.

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.

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.

So here is my quick guide…
