It is indeed possible to compile a standalone curl.exe (see the Makefile options I added to curl), but the question here is more about the curl extension. Johannes is right, the last argument of the extension function is about defining how php_curl will be built. I never tried to build it statically. There may be some issues due to symbol clashing but nothing that could not be fixed, while it is not a high priority, there is nothing to gain to have curl statically built :) Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org
