The issue may be particular to how PHP packages are installed on Ubuntu.
It's been over 3 months since I tried it but I vaguely recall the problem
was the directory where the php.ini was expecting the extension_dir  to load
plug-ins from.  Ubuntu debian packages had moved around (cleaned up) where
some of the plug-ins and their config.ini files are placed (e.g.
/etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/).  I couldn't get Virtuoso's hosted PHP to find
them.

Since I'm probably forgetting something, the best way to reproduce it would
be to set up a Ubuntu LAMP server with the curl extension working. Then
attempt to use the same PHP script that connects with curl via LAMP or
Virtuoso hosted PHP.
