Verify you are editing the correct php ini file   Reference  https   github com composer composer issues 1440   WAMP uses different php ini files in the CLI and for Apache  when you enable php openssl through the WAMP UI  you enable it for Apache  not for the CLI  You need to modify C  wamp bin php php-X Y Z php ini to enable it for the CLI

Uttam  if your issue is not solved then try the follwoing 3 step approach  It worked for me as I had exactly same issue    step1  click on wamp tray icon   step2  goto menu apache- apache modules  step3  click on menu item  ssl module   it will automatically restart wamp  if wamp not restarted automatically then restart it through wamp tray menu-  Restart All services  After restart confirm that  ssl module  coming as ticked under menu apache- apache modules  after that just attempt the php composer phar install  from going through the response shared by you  php ini file contains extension php openssl dll and the php ext directory also have file  php openssl dll   good luck

Becareful if you are using wamp don t use the wamp ui to enable the extension php openssl dll   just go to your php directory   for example   C  wamp bin php php5 4 12 and edit the php ini and uncomment the extension php openssl dll   it should work
