These should be colon separated, not semicolon - notice it's trying to 
load both paths included:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 
'./;/usr/lib/php/modules/;/usr/lib/pgsql/curl.so'

Change it to

extension_dir = "./:/usr/lib/php/modules/:/usr/lib/pgsql/"

"Permission denied" sounds like either file permissions or seLinux is 
stopping the connection.

If you have seLinux enabled, try disabling it (don't know how to do 
that, sorry) - at least that will tell you if that's the problem.

For file permissions, check your apache user can read where-ever the 
postgres socket file is put (normally /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 on centos/rhel).
