Facebook needs the CURL extension

I'm trying to run my facebook php application on my apache server, on a new machine with Windows 64bit. As mentioned in the title, the error given is Facebook needs the CURL PHP extension. I have uncommented the line extension=php_curl.dll in php.ini and there is no problem in SublimeText, however when I try accessing my localhost, the error is thrown. I've been looking a bit in base_facebook.php, where the error is thrown:

if (!function_exists('curl_init')) {
  throw new Exception('Facebook needs the CURL PHP extension.');
}

I've been looking on the internet and tried a lot of sites, including a topic with the same problem on stackoverflow:Facebook needs the CURL PHP extension.
There is a comment about this problem with WAMP 64bit, and I tried the link with the fix, but nothing useful- seems like it has changed since.
Does anyone have the same issue? Any idea how to solve this, please?
