You have to install php5-curl.

On Ubuntu or Debian, you can do this by running either apt-get install php5-curl or aptitude install php5-curl depending on which command you use to manage your packages.

You can see whether it is currently installed or not using the command aptitude show php5-curl.

It is always good to keep a PHP script with only this code:

php phpinfo() ?>

The above code will print a lot of information about server, the request, installed packages, etc. that are useful for diagnosing issues. If php5-curl is installed, you should find a section for 'curl' in the output here.
