title: DVWA setup PHP function allow_url_include: Disabled
body: <p>I'm setting up DVWA on Windows via XAMPP, and I've searched in Google for about 24 hours - I cannot seem to find the answer.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is setting up the server:</p>
  
  <pre><code>PHP function `allow_url_include: Disabled`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My config file says it's enabled. Could it have something to do with my ports? Should I set up my server for outside access to my router, or is the internal IP access enough?</p>
  
  <p>When setting up my server I get this:</p>
