XAMPP under Windows: Google Weather error

[yourlocalsheriff]

I am new to XAMPP, and have just installed XAMPP for Windows as a development site.

It is installed and working fine - EXCEPT...
When I install mod_googleWeather and configure it the same as in the live site, I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_in it() in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\modules\mod_googleWeather\mod_googleWeather_lib.php on line 200

As it is ok on the live site this must be some wrong setting in the XAMPP environment.

XCan somebody please point me in the right direction to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance,

John Wilson

have you enabled curl?

Thank you for your response.
As I said, I'm new to XAMPP, so pardon my ignorance.

How, and where do I enable curl?

Thanks again

John

- Open the file php.ini
- search for "extension=php_curl.dll"
- remove the ; at the beginning
- Restart your Apache
