true);\n?>' | php

Seems that the option was deprecated in libcurl 7.8 and removed in 7.15.5, so 
this is a documentation issue

Instead of using CURLOPT_MUTE you can use CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to produce a similar output. Both of these suppress the output of the command.

Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of pierrick
Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&amp;revision=328838
Log: Document bug #63800

CURLOPT_MUTE was removed in cURL 7.15.5
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER can be use to get the same effect
