How I Spent My Winter Vacation
Sorry for the lack of updates due to “assloads” of work, but there are good things coming. I’ve got an address book importer in PHP, flash toys for photo manipulation, some new DOM validation script, more Flash apps via PHP/mySQL/XML/Flash, an updated version of slightestBox and much more than I care to list.
Random note: I needed to install cURL on my Windows box install of XAMPP and found a handy comment on Roman’s blog that did the trick. It’s also been installed on my LAMP box as well but that was easy enough to install and required no Google research.
Navigate to XAMPP > apache > bin
Open php.ini
Find “php_curl”
Remove the “;” from “;extension=php_curl.dll”
Save and close it.
Restart Apache via Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
and you are done!
If this solution did not work for you, you might be using an old/incompatible version of XAMPP or someone upstairs with a big beard has it in for you. Either way you should download the newest build from http://apachefriends.org. This was tested on a WinXP using XAMPP version 1.6.4 Beta 3.
