How to set up curl in php?

Question

I am trying to use some SMS gateway and it require me to use curl to post a message to their server.

How do I set up curl on a windows and linux server?

I guess curl is some PHP library?

Which files do I need to include?

Where will I get those files?

cURL can be used as a PHP module, but you can also install it as a regular command line application and execute curl commands as separate processes

If you want to test your server support for either of these, try this:

<?php //test for extension if (extension_loaded("curl")) { echo "cURL extension is loaded<br>"; } else { echo "cURL extension is not available<br>"; } //test for command line app echo "cURL command line version:<br><pre>"; echo `curl --version`; echo "</pre>"; ?>

i have a acccount with some hosting company where i host my site.How wil i come to know if curl is installed or not? Is it already available on my server?How can i make out
@unknown upload a script that says <?PHP phpinfo(); ?>, load it in the browser, and search the output for "curl" -- if it's installed, you'll find a section devoted to its configuration
