I spent three hours but I did not find anything; I'm unable to connect to a SSL enabled server. I want to list what i did:
First checked my PHP extensions directory was in order; extension wasn't there, php_openssl.dll
Then I opened my php.ini file but I could not see any extension=php_openssl.dll line to uncomment.
Also, I searched on Google and saw people with the same problem. http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?p=162623
However, I also have
OPENSSL_CONF C:/xampp/apache/bin/openssl.cnf
...
openssl
OpenSSL support enabled
OpenSSL Library Version OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009
OpenSSL Header Version OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009
no lines . What should I do? Please share your suggestions.
Yes, you must open php.ini and remove the semicolon to:
;extension=php_openssl.dll
If you don't have that line, check that you have the file (In my PC is on D:\xampp\php\ext) and add this to php.ini in the "Dynamic Extensions" section:
extension=php_openssl.dll
Things have changed for PHP > 7. This is what i had to do for PHP 7.2.
Step: 1: Uncomment extension=openssl
Step: 2: Uncomment extension_dir = "ext"
Step: 3: Restart xampp.
Done.
Explanation: ( From php.ini )
If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following syntax:
extension=modulename
Note : The syntax used in previous PHP versions (extension=<ext>.so and extension='php_<ext>.dll) is supported for legacy reasons and may be deprecated in a future PHP major version. So, when it is possible, please move to the new (extension=<ext>) syntax.
Special Note: Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.
