Here are a couple of things to check if cURL is loaded as module or not
1. You can check by using phpinfo();
Just create a single php file and name it as phpinfo.php file and in it add
phpinfo();
Then call the page on your browser and when it loads do the control plus F and search for curl module there. If you can find it, then it means it is loaded.
2. Create a page and name it as test_curl.php and inside that file, add the following code.
if ( in_array('curl', get_loaded_extensions()) ){ echo "Curl is loaded"; } else { echo "No, I can't find curl"; }
Either of the above two methods would tell you if you have curl to be used as extension or not
