 New Comment:

I was able to reproduce that cURL was not loaded, but copying libssh2.dll fixed it.

Did you do what I said about enabling logging? Did you check the Apache error log to see that PHP
complained about "module not found" when trying to load the extension?

And phpinfo() will show a section for cURL, even if its INI settings aren't included.

I did read the following comments:
https://php.net/manual/en/curl.installation.php#122314

Though they appear to be out of date, I did try them out and copied the only one actually available
of the three suggested files (libssh2.dll) to the Apache bin/ folder and also tried loading it with
LoadFile (of course I restarted the service in between).

The function "curl_init()" is still undefined.

By the way, I guess because of the following fix to the PHP source, the INI settings of the loaded
cURL module might not be displayed in the phpinfo() output of PHP 7.2.8:

https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/b585f043cb0078d01e982ff034d64421a97d8e8f#diff-ac978e3de205f1d14eb960e0eb15ef24

Also, I have cURL running fine on the same machine with a PHP 7.1.9.

Is there anybody with a windows machine, Apache 2.4 x64 and PHP 7.2.8 x64 that can confirm this
issue?

Oh. When in doubt with problems like this, make sure you have error logging enabled (including
display_startup_errors) and that you've checked the appropriate error logs.

As the top three comments on the cURL installation page say,
  http://php.net/manual/en/curl.installation.php
you need libssh2.dll in the path. The Apache download includes libcrypto and libssl but not libssh2.
Copying it from the PHP download to Apache's bin\ is sufficient.

Docs need updating.

that only proves that you modified the config for the cli successful so hell look at phpinfo()
output which configs the webserver is using and enable display _startup_errors (I'm at a mobile
so please look for exactly name) and make sure you have set a proper writable error_log

when your cli can load the extension it is for sure a local config issue and as said this is the
wrong bug tracker

If by "both APIs" you mean the php.exe being called directly with the "-m"
parameter and php being loaded by apache as a module, than yes.

When I remove the "extension=curl" line from the php.ini file, the "php.exe -m"
output is missing the "curl" line as expected.
