 * Try:
 *     ```
       <?php
       function _iscurlsupported() {
           if  (in_array  ('curl', get_loaded_extensions())) return true;
           else return false;
       }
   
       if (_iscurlsupported()) echo “cURL is supported”; else echo "cURL is NOT supported";
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Don’t use fancy quotes in PHP code. Use plain quotes and only ever use a plain
   text editor.
