Over the past week "especially at Devcon" I have been contacted numerous times as to how to setup cURL with IIS so individuals could test the new FileMaker API for PHP. The PHP Installer for windows does not come with cURL configured, and there is a small process needed to setup cURL to work with your system.

I have created a help movie and a PDF help guide that shows you how to setup cURL in less than 5 minutes. I have also included a zip file with all of the files you will need to setup cURL.

Movie Links: http://www.fmwebschool.com/resources/php_curl/curlmovies/curl.html

PDF Documentation: http://www.fmwebschool.com/resources/Curl_Install.pdf

Files you will need: http://www.fmwebschool.com/resources/php_curl/curl.zip.

I have also written a "getting started" guide for everyone interested in the new FileMaker API for PHP.

I hope these resources are helpful!
