How to test if PHP curl is working ok on windows

Hi,
i am not a PHP developper and have got a PHP script done for me using PHP curl.

The script worked perfect until the site moved server and now it just returns a blank page. The PHP developper is letting me know that i should check to see if the PHP curl extension is installed on server, the server's tech support is telling me it is but obviously something is missing somewhere on that server.

Would any one please take a quick look at the script below and let know if any other extension is required and is there an easy test to see if the famoud PHP curl extension is indeed installed on the server.

here is the script (the part relating to the curl, the variables used in the script are ok):

Code:

$options = array(
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER  => true,
    CURLOPT_POST            => true,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS      => 'orderno=' . $orderno . '&billtocountry=' . $billtocountry,
    CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH        => CURLAUTH_BASIC,
    CURLOPT_USERPWD         => "$siteid:$sitekey",
    CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER  => false
  );

  $ch = curl_init($url);
  curl_setopt_array($ch, $options); // set the options
  $output = curl_exec( $ch );
  $info   = curl_getinfo( $ch );
  $errno  = curl_errno($ch);
  $error  = curl_error($ch);
  curl_close($ch);

The page retunred is totally blank.

many thanks
