cannot get working under windows7 64 bit wamp, it's a breeze in linux and i am new to windows.

No mention of curl in phpinfo() and get this in my apache error log...

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/ext/php_curl.dll' - The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.\r\n in Unknown on line 0

I have windows 7 64bit so downloaded
wampserver2.2e-php5.3.13-httpd2.2.22-mysql5.5.24-x64.exe

I read many posts, most mention copying the following 3 files from c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.13/ext/ into C:\Windows\system32 or C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder
php_curl.dll, libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll

below is a typical post i found but didn't resolve my problem
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/181082/how-do-i-install-curl-on-windows

To enable curl i clicked the php_curl option in the WAMP GUI thing and double checked that the php.ini settings were correct in my
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\bin\php.ini
it was uncomented as expected like this...
extension=php_curl.dll

I am not sure how to use the sxstrace.exe tool mentioned in the message and any help or advice gladly accepted

I had exactly the same problem with exactly the same setup and the fix was simple.

All you have to do is to replace php_curl.php in 'ext' dir with the version found at http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/.

Make sure that you are using the same version of php_curl.php (specified in downloadable archive name) as your PHP version, otherwise it will not work.

Also, try normal rather than NTS (not-thread-safe) version first.

And of course, you need to stop WAMP and enable the extension through GUI (tray menu->PHP->extensions->curl) after the file has been replaced.
