Do as 4life suggests, but make sure you get the dll called php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip

do not try to use the one called php_curl-5.4.3-nts-VC9-x64.zip

My late reply may be useful to someone.

During my experience of this issue, I found that none of the suggestions here nor on other forums resolved it.

In my case I had installed the Wamp folder outside of the Program Files folder, however the php.ini file incorrectly referenced C:\Program Files\wamp in multiple places.

Therefore, amending the path in php.ini in several places resolved my issue.

To achieve this:

• Load php.ini into your favourite text editor
• Search for each instance of "Program Files"
• Update the filepath for each one
• Save the changes to make them permanent.

for me, I have wampp installed, none of the former worked. Curl worked only when I clicked the wamp icon and enabled the curl module from there. So left click wamp, choose php extensions and choose curl from there. good luck

Go to this link download *php_curl-5.4.3-VC9-x64.zip* under "Fixed curl extensions:" and replace the php_curl.dll in ext folder. This worked for me.
