php 5.6.10 curl fails to initialize (SOLVED)

This is a fresh install with php 5.6.10.

I checked and curl is installed along with all the dependencies listed in the curl package documentation.

These are included in my php.ini:

 extension=curl.so 
 curl.cainfo = "/etc/ssl/certs/cacert.pem"

Here is the code that generates the error:

    # initialise the CURL library
    $ch = curl_init();

Here is the error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

Any ideas?

Thanks. I had checked all of those things before to no avail.  But I was able to solve the problem.

The solution turned out to be an inconsistency with the hostname and other configured items such as samba, avahi, minidlna, etc.  Once I changed the hostname (for other reasons), the error was not longer received.
