CURL in PHP

I'm trying to install a E-Commerce engine but it comes up the error -- CURL not compiled into PHP - notify server administrator. Under more info it says...

Some payment and shipping modules require cURL in order to talk to an external server to request real-time quotes or payment authorizations.

If you intend to use the PayPal Express Checkout or Website Payments Pro modules, or Authorize.net AIM, you *need* CURL support.

It appears that your server may not have cURL support configured or activated for your account. If you need a 3rd-party tool that uses cURL, you will need to talk to your web host to have them install cURL support on your server.

More information on CURL can be found at the CURL website

I think it can just simply be turned on from what I can tell, just can't figure out how. Any help would be highly appreciated.

QuickGuide:
- Open your php.ini
- Search for "php_curl.dll"
- remove the ; at the beginning of the line
- restart your Apache
