> How would I go about installing cURL for PHP on windows box?
Start searching for a file named curlphp.dll or similar.
First your PHP install, then http://php4win.de if it's back up,
then
http://php.net then, like Google or http://dogpile.com or whatever.
If all of that fails, then probably nobody has created such a DLL for you,
and the real fun starts...
You *COULD* start looking for a cURL COM object out there on the
Microsoft-centric sites (expect to pay for it) and try to use PHP's COM
support to talk to it.
Or, you *COULD* snag the cURL sources and VC++ 6.0 or higher and try to
compile them yourself. You'll probably soon find out why it doesn't exist,
but with diligence and some work might become famous for being the guy who
*made* it work :-) [That's pretty much how OpenSource software works...]
You may find it easier to just switch to Un*x where it just works :-)
