Enable cURL in Windows 10

Here is the steps to enable curl on Windows :

...; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.; http://php.net/extension-dir; extension_dir = "./"; On windows:extension_dir = "C:\PathToMyPhp\ext"...extension=php_curl.dll...[curl]; A default value for the CURLOPT_CAINFO option. This is required to be an; absolute path.curl.cainfo = C:\PathToMyFile\cacert.pem

1 - Make sure your extension_dir point to the php extension directory.

2 - uncomment or add the extension .dll name .

Here is the right syntax by convention for php extensions : php_nameOfTheExtension.dll

The .dll are placed in the extension directory of php or you must place it here in case of 3rd party download.

3 - cacert.pem is optional and is used for SSL transactions.

Download here : https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html

4 - Check with phpinfo() if curl is in the list and check the configuration.

5 - In case of error, check the error.log and access.log of Apache

Edit 1 :

6 - I forgot : add the paths of your php directory to the Windows Environment PATH Variable for .dll dependencies.

Edit 2 :Here is the path for the files :

Depending on MySQL installation & version

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\libeay32.dll

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin\ssleay32.dll

Depending on your php directory

C:\php7\libssh2.dll

Edit 3 :

Example of extensions configuration with the right syntax taken from PHP5 but working also for PHP7 :

; Windows Extensions; Note that ODBC support is built in, so no dll is needed for it.; Note that many DLL files are located in the extensions/ (PHP 4) ext/ (PHP 5+); extension folders as well as the separate PECL DLL download (PHP 5+).; Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.;;extension=php_bz2.dllextension=php_curl.dllextension=php_fileinfo.dll;extension=php_ftp.dllextension=php_gd2.dll;extension=php_gettext.dll;extension=php_gmp.dllextension=php_intl.dll;extension=php_imap.dll;extension=php_interbase.dll;extension=php_ldap.dllextension=php_mbstring.dllextension=php_exif.dll      ; Must be after mbstring as it depends on itextension=php_mysqli.dll;extension=php_oci8_12c.dll  ; Use with Oracle Database 12c Instant Client;extension=php_odbc.dllextension=php_openssl.dll;extension=php_pdo_firebird.dllextension=php_pdo_mysql.dll;extension=php_pdo_oci.dllextension=php_pdo_odbc.dll;extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dllextension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll;extension=php_pgsql.dll;extension=php_shmop.dll; The MIBS data available in the PHP distribution must be installed.; See http://www.php.net/manual/en/snmp.installation.php;extension=php_snmp.dll;extension=php_soap.dllextension=php_sockets.dllextension=php_sqlite3.dll;extension=php_tidy.dll;extension=php_xmlrpc.dllextension=php_xsl.dllzend_extension="C:\php-7.1.22\ext\php_opcache.dll"zend_extension="C:\php-7.1.22\ext\php_xdebug-2.6.1-7.1-vc14-x86_64.dll"

Hope this will help.

I had the same problem with wamp 3.1.9, php 7.3.7

The solution was to replace the php_curl.dll in ext folderwith a file from a previous PHP 7.3.1 version.
