Call to undefined function curl_init(), but it's enabled

Question

I have WAMP and I am running PHP 5.3.13 with Apache 2.2.22.

I have enabled the extension by ticking php_curl. I have restarted my computer.

My code is saying:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init()

Anyone think what might be going wrong?

My phpinfo does not say anything about curl but in the phpini it says:

;extension=php_bz2.dll

extension=php_curl.dll .

Code calling it is here:

class ***** {
  public static $oauth, $debug, $logger, $session_manager, $last_response;
  protected static $url, $client_id, $client_secret, $secret, $ch, $headers;

  const GET = 'GET';
  const POST = 'POST';
  const PUT = 'PUT';
  const DELETE = 'DELETE';

  public static function setup($client_id, $client_secret, $options = array('session_manager' => '*****Session')) {
  // Setup client info
  self::$client_id = $client_id;
  self::$client_secret = $client_secret;

  // Setup curl
  self::$url = empty($options['api_url']) ? 'https://api.*****.com:443' : $options['api_url'];
  self::$debug = false;
  self::$ch = curl_init();

This code comes from a trustworthy API. I have starred words that need not be shared.

Then you don't actually have it enabled. Refer to the documentation on how to enable it. — Jan Hančič
this doesn't help. I have come here because I have referred to the documentation — Jimmyt1988
added to Q - its an api that has worked on old wamp installation but not this one. I'm on windows 8 if that's any help — Jimmyt1988
;extension=php_bz2.dll extension=php_curl.dll in the same line? Try putting extension=php_curl.dll in its own line — ori

Replace the dll file found in ext folder with the correct version here:

I am using win 8 64bit so the version for me was:
