So I'm struggling to get php curl installed on my windows xp professional machine and I've probably tried 5 different sites which either dont' work or refers to missing file references like the ca certificates and such.

I'm looking to write a php script which logs into a site ssl, captures the page data using regex and emailing it to me. Before I can get there, I need ssl curl. I was wondering if someone can recommend a better site or tutorial which effectively walks me through that step by step.

thanks in advance.

To enable curl with php you have to follow these steps:

  1. Find used php.ini file. You should just put in script (contents : <?php phpinfo(); ?>) in your inetpub, call it from browser and search for php.ini.

  2. Uncomment extension=php_curl.dll. You can do this by removing ; in front of line.

  3. Check that php_curl.dll exists in extension_dir . If it does not exist - download Win32 zip package of corresponding php version from http://php.net/downloads.php .

  4. Check that libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll are found within path. You can get them by installing OpenSSL http://www.openssl.org/

I found the same thread on stack overflow

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/181082/how-do-i-install-curl-on-windows

however it focuses on apache running on windows. I need an install which works with IIS and PHP5
