I do a fair amount of development work on my laptop using XAMPP. I must admint that I have not read the documentation as thoroughly as I should, so I was very pleased when I found Chris Meller’s post on turning on CURL for XAMPP.
Simply remember that the only PHP.ini file that really matters is the one found in /apache/bin/php.ini.
After you edit the file, restart the Apache server, and you are on your way.
