title: Call to undefined function curl_init in php 5.2.6 XAMPP 1.6.8 Windows Server
body: <p>I get an error on my php application :
  Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()</p>
  
  <p>I have searched everywhere for the answer and trust me I've done every solution given but still failed to overcome this problem.
  By far I've tried several solutions such as :</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Removing the comment ";" in php.ini before the extension=php_curl.dll and then restart the  server</li>
  <li>Go to <a href="http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/" rel="nofollow">http://www.anindya.com/php-5-4-3-and-php-5-3-13-x64-64-bit-for-windows/</a> and download the fixed curl extensions there and replace the php_curl.dll in xampp/php/ext with the downloaded dlls (each one of them one by one) and then restart the server</li>
  <li>Change the extension=php_curl.dll to extension="C:\Xampp\php\ext\php_curl.dll" and then restart the server</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>All the solutions just didn't work for my case. I think the server runs the older version of XAMPP and PHP (XaMPP 1.6.8 with PHP 5.2.6), is it the source of my problem?</p>
  
  <p>I definitely desperate for some help, for I already tried all the solutions provided in the similar questions in stackoverflow (trust me, there's a lot of em) and still I couldn't get the answer to my problem. So please dont rush yourself from labeling this post as a duplicate, cause I tried just almost all of em.</p>
  
  <p>Your help will be much appreciated, thank you. </p>
