PHP cURL not working – WAMP on Windows 7 64 bit

Problem solved!

Although the error message said The specified module could not be found, this is a little misleading -- it's not that it couldn't find php_curl.dll, but rather it couldn't find a module that php_curl.dll required. The 2 DLLs it requires are libeay32.dll and SSLeay32.dll.

So, you have to put those 2 DLLs somewhere in your PATH (e.g., C:\Windows\system32). That's all there is to it.

However, even that did not work for me initially. So I downloaded the Windows zip of the latest version of PHP, which includes all the necessary DLLs. I didn't reinstall PHP, I just copied all of the DLLs in the "ext" folder to my PHP extensions folder (as specified in the extension_dir variable in php.ini), and I copied the versions of libeay32.dll and SSLeay32.dll from the PHP download into my System32 directory.

I also did an iisreset, but I don't know if that was necessary.

You are assigning the value of 1 to id instead of testing for a match:

if(id = 1) {} // WRONG: this means if id is successfully SET to 1

Here is what it should look like:

$('.view').click(function() {
    var id = this.id.replace('view_', "");

    if(id == 1)       { $('#show').show('slow'); }
    else if(id == 2 ) { $('#show2').show('slow'); }

    $('#categories').hide('slow');

    return false;
});

If you find yourself making this mistake a lot, you should switch the test around:

if( 1 == id) {} // Works
if( 1 = id ) {} // Throws JS error instead of failing silently
