A quick overview on how to get the php_curl.dll working on IIS. This works with PHP 5.x on Windows. Most likely you did not install the CURL extension when you first installed PHP on your machine. Below is the easiest method to install any missing extensions (like CURL):

  1. Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, Find the PHP 5 installation in the list and click Change.
  2. When the installer comes up, click Change

  4. Restart IIS (from command Prompt, type “iisreset”). Now curl should be working for you.

This is much easier that having to find the dll yourself and modifying the php.ini file.
