danielson,

simply download and install curl itself, during your php configure, add the line:

--with-curl=/path/to/curl

Generally the path is not necessary if curl is installed in default location.

Note: be sure curl is compiled with SSL support if you plan to use that, check it's install logs to save some hassle later on.

hope this helps.

-m.

cURL: http://curl.haxx.se/

However, I still don't understand what it says...
Where should I put the
"--with-curl=/path/to/curl "??
Write it in the php code??

danielson, sorry if I wasn't very clear.

Once you have cURL installed, configure php again (you have to re-install php to include libcurl support).

To do so, add the following option to your php configuration line:

./configure --enable-ftp \
--with-curl \
--other-options ..

Hope this helps.

-m.
