When I first installed PHP did it include the libraries for cURL?

A:
No, it's not enabled by default.
From the manual:
To use PHP's cURL support you must also compile PHP --with-curl[=DIR] where DIR is the location of the directory containing the lib and include directories. In the include directory there should be a folder named curl which should contain the easy.h and curl.h files. There should be a file named libcurl.a located in the lib directory.
However, the Windows distribution includes the built module (php_curl.dll), but I believe it's not enabled by default in php.ini.

A:
To test if your version of PHP has cURL support create a php file:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
If you open this file in your browser, it will print out all the information regarding your php installation, including whether cURL is enabled.
Look for a line that says cURL support enabled, under a heading curl.

I indented your code snippet to allow it to be displayed. For future reference, there's a preview below the edit box :).
