We develop application in PHP for our own services but I didnt know about
CURL before I run
into a problem with Posting data from a php application and there for found
CURL.

So my guess is if you find a hosting service which offers php the chance
that they have compiled it
with cURL support is really low under normal circumstances. Because one
would only do so
if one needs that. The main question is ... would the ISP recompile his php
just because one costumer
wants cURL support !? I dont think so.

So if you going to program an application which you want to distribute I
would only rely on function which
are standard php function and i would even work around functions which are
really new to php ... so dont
use function like array_key_exists [which came with 4.1.0] and so on ...
