Since you're using XAMPP, uncomment the line

NB: In newer XAMPP versions, PHP has moved to root xampp folder xampp\php\php.ini.

Steps for Windows 7:
- Ensure that the php.ini file that the PHP engine uses is the one you think it is.
- Ensure extension_dir in php.ini is correctly set to the ext folder

Finally and maybe the one most people don't know:

You can check phpinfo() (create a script containing and browse to it). This will tell you if you really do have it enabled. If not, read here.
It is not recommended for the faint-hearted Windows developer.
Solution 14 - Php
For windows OS users (It worked for me) in XAMPP.
step 1: Go to C:\xampp\php\php.ini
edit this file php.ini
find curl- you will see a line ;extension=php_curl.dll.
remove semicolon (;)extension=php_curl.dll. so this line looks like
;extension=php_curl.dll
to
extension=php_curl.dll
step 2: copy ssleay32.dll, libeay32.dll from php folder. paste it in C:\Windows\System32\
step 3: Restart the system . Curl will run successfully.
Solution 15 - Php
check if curl module is available
$ ls -la /etc/php5/mods-available/enable the curl module
$ sudo php5enmod curl
Solution 16 - Php
Check the php version, If you installed php 7.0 version
sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl
sudo service apache2 restart
If you installed php 5.6 version
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
sudo service apache2 restart
