cURL is a library built around making HTTP (and other) requests in code. PHP can do that natively but it's a bit awkward to work with.

However for PHP it looks like Paymill has stuff already written for you to use. Not sure where to find it though.

Also, if you do need to use cURL, do yourself a favour and take a look at Guzzle. Much nicer to work with.
