  To use PHP's CURL support you must also compile PHP <option
  role="configure">--with-curl[=DIR]</option> where DIR is the
  location of the directory containing the lib and include
  directories. In the "include" directory there should be a folder
  named "curl" which should contain the <filename>easy.h</filename> and
  <filename>curl.h</filename> files. There should be a file named 
  <filename>libcurl.a</filename> located in the "lib" directory. Beginning
  with PHP 4.3.0 you can configure PHP to use CURL for URL streams
  <option role="configure">--with-curlwrappers</option>.
