    Any reason NOT to compile PHP with Curl?

    I inherited a system with PHP installed without CURL compiled into the
    PHP module. Is there any good reason for NOT adding curl into PHP? I
    have been asked to rebuild PHP, but do not wish to cause future
    issues.

      The only reason I can think of is that you want to deliberately restrict PHP
      to make network communication with other servers harder - in which case you'd
      also need to disable fopen_wrappers and possibly a number of other extensions
      and/or enable safe_mode with various disabled functions.
