Logging localhost HTTP requests from PHP in Fiddler

Question

I have a test website hosted on Apache on my local machine. I have a php script that makes a call to a remote website.

I would like to capture this traffic in Fiddler, but I'm assuming that Apache is opening another port to perform that communication so Fiddler doesn't know about it.

How should I configure Fiddler to know about that communication?

This is not a duplicate because this is a different issue. localhost traffic is being captured, it is just the external calls from apache that are not working. — ajon, Jul 15 '13 at 17:31

To capture curl traffic use the following line before making any curl calls:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, '127.0.0.1:8888');

This configures curl to use fiddler as a proxy for it's external traffic.
