Hi, Larry and everyone: Thanks for setting up this forum which is really helpful. I am on page 252, I checked my local installation of XAMPP (1.7.7) I used phpinfo() and it DOES not have "curl". My XAMPP does come with the default enable the SSL, after I typed in shipping information it gives an erorr: Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\xampp\private\gateway_process.php on line 59 I am trying to download, I just want to make sure I download the right stuff (I am new to php development and programming in general") http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/?type=bin&os=Win64 Is the second link the right one to download? (I had problem downloading some other software then got virus infected my computer which had been pain) I have Window7 so I choose win64 right? In the book it says "if your PHP installation does not support libcurl, you can have PHP invoke the command-line cURL application via the exec() function: exec('curl<arguments>', $response); I do not get this, where do you type in "exec('curl<arguments>', $response);" , in the php.ini file or the libcurl I will download? Thanks, Brooke
