not neccessarily, some modules can indeed be broken, but anyway, did
you check the files that cURL needs are there, you seem to have just
got stuck, what have you tried doing, have you downloaded a new
binary, have you played with its position in teh file system.
If you have never heard of xampp before, apachefriends.de you can get
a complete install and it will just _work_ modules and all - you can
choose php4, but obviously this is not recommended.
Yeah PHP4 - it might be the newest v4, but PHP6 is just round the
corner, supporting unicode etc... that will make even PHP5 obselete!
It's the latest release that drives development; rather than tying up
people with "old" problems why not push on with new stuff, all this
will soon be yesterday's news.
The day PHP6 comes out it will be on dev box here, then I guess it
will be recoding time - and reporting the bugs of course.
