title: PHPUnit not recognizing cURL extension -- can't install selenium test
body: <p>I'm on a Windows 7 machine running a WAMPserver and I'm trying to install the Selenium extension for PEAR.  However, whenever I try to install it, I'm told that it requires the already-enabled PHP extension "curl":</p>
  
  <p><code>pear install phpunit/PHPUnit_Selenium</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>Package "pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit_Selenium" dependency "pear.phpunit.de/PHPUnit" has no releases
  phpunit/PHPUnit_Selenium requires PHP extension "curl"
  No valid packages found
  install failed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I go to check my php.ini file to see if it's enabled.  Sure enough, there it is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>extension=php_apc.dll
  ;extension=php_bz2.dll
  extension=php_curl.dll
  ;extension=php_dba.dll
  ;extension=php_exif.dll
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On <a href="http://kaalaya.blogspot.com/2010/03/php-phpunit-selenium-and-netbeans-ide.html" rel="nofollow">this website</a>, I was told to try this:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <ol>
    <li>If you are getting an error as “No valid packages found Install failed” then run the following command   pear upgrade-all</li>
    </ol>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But when I run that command, it just tells me <code>Nothing to upgrade-all</code>.</p>
  
  <p>After searching for my specific error, I found a <a href="https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=59028" rel="nofollow">PHP bug that mentions</a></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The "curl" php extension needs to be loaded into php itself as an
    extension.</p>
    
    <p>run this command</p>
    
    <p>php -me</p>
    
    <p>If "curl" is not listed as one of the [PHP Modules] it is not going to
    work.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And I'm not entirely sure how to load this "into php itself as an extension" on Windows.  Is there an easy way to do this?  Or to get PEAR to believe that I <em>do</em> have this installed?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>For the record, my curl extension <em>is</em> noticed by PHP (from php_info()):</p>
  
  <pre><code>cURL support    enabled
  cURL Information    7.20.0
  </code></pre>
