I'm going to use libcurl within php code on Win XP (with Apache). I downloaded the file (hopelly the right one) libcurl-7.15.0-win32-nossl-sspi.zip. But i cannot find any description how to install it. The README point to a certain INSTALL document, but no such or similary file. On the siet
http://curl.haxx.se/ found only confusions... Could anybody help me ?

You do not need to install libcurl on Windows machines to use the cURL functions within PHP. If you have downloaded the PHP .zip (not the .msi) pakage from php.net then you should find a precompiled cURL extension (php_curl.dll) within the package. You should just need to uncomment the module within the php.ini file.
I can't remember off hand but the cURL extension may require that other .dll files also be available to the system (live somewhere on the PATH environment variable). Everything you need to use cURL functions within PHP is included within the .zip package.
installing curl = enabling curl
