cURL (Client for URLs) is in the XAMPP bundle. But you must enable it first before you can use it in your PHP code.

To enable curl library with XAMPP we need to modify the php.ini files in our xampp folder.

1. Locate some or all of the following files:
C:\Program Files\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini
C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php.ini
C:\Program Files\xampp\php\php4\php.ini

2. Uncomment the following line on your php.ini file by removing the semicolon.

;extension=php_curl.dll

3. Restart your apache server.

4. Check your phpinfo if curl was properly enabled.
