How can system dependencies affect the reliability of cURL in PHP?

System dependencies can affect the reliability of cURL in PHP if the required libraries or extensions are not installed on the server. To ensure that cURL is functioning correctly, you should check for the presence of necessary dependencies like libcurl and OpenSSL. You can use the function `extension_loaded()` to verify if the required extensions are available before using cURL functions. 

if (!extension_loaded('curl') || !extension_loaded('openssl')) {
    die('cURL and OpenSSL extensions are required for this script to run.');
}
