1. Create a file in your web server (in Ubuntu it would be in /var/www folder), name it info.php
2. Open that file and type this command:
< ?php phpinfo(); ?>
3. Save that file
4. Open your favorite browser and open that file (ex: http://localhost/info.php)
5. Now you will see the Information about your PHP installation
6. Search for Curl, and if you cannot find it, it mean your php doesn’t have curl installed.
To install php-curl please follow this steps:
1. Open your terminal and type this command:
sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl php5-mcrypt
2. After it finish open php.ini file (mine is at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini ) and add this command: extension=curl.so

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
