note 80637 added to ref.curl

As a windows xp user having php 5.2.5 running as an apache module on my personal computer, all I had to do in order to get this CURL stuff working is to uncomment the following line in my php.ini file: extension=php_curl.dll Thought I'd just mention it as it may save time to others since it seems somehow less compicated than the process mentioned (without sufficient explanation, mind you) in the above article (compile php??? options??? all I ever did to install php was to unzip the archive I downloaded and add a couple of line to my apache conf file). I just tried downloading a web page and save its source into a text file using the example from the manual above. When the php_curl.dll extension is not active, it doesn't work (fatal error with init_curl, as you'd expect). When the php_curl.dll extension is active, it works. No need for any other intricate operation as far as I can say. Otherwise, it's great that I now have my tool for doing any http request i want. ---- Server IP: 217.174.223.124 Probable Submitter: 217.174.196.197 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80637 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80637/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80637/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80637/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80637/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80637/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80637/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80637 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80637 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
