hi all, i have problems getting fopen() and fsockopen() to work over https..
here is the problem.. from the phpinfo: OpenSSL support enabled OpenSSL Version OpenSSL 0.9.6h 5 Dec 2002 from php -m # php -m [PHP Modules] ctype mysql openssl overload pcre posix session standard tokenizer xml [Zend Modules] from the Appendix I regarding fopen() on php.net: Note: HTTPS is supported starting from PHP 4.3, if you have compiled in support for OpenSSL. and from the documentation on fsockopen() on php.net: As of PHP 4.3.0, if you have compiled in OpenSSL support, you may prefix the hostname with either 'ssl://' or 'tls://' to use an SSL or TLS client connection over TCP/IP to connect to the remote host. in a test file i have two lines of code like this: $file = "https://someurl.com";; if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r"))) this produces an error but it doesn't point to any problem - like this: Warning: fopen(https://someurl.com.......... in /path/to/file.php on line 45 if i change $file to "http://someurl.com"; it works fine... with fsockopen() the situation is kinda the same. code: $fp=fsockopen("ssl://www.foo.com", 443); error: Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: no SSL support in this build in /path/to/file/... if i pul out the ssl:// part it works fine... now, i did read the posts on this list about curl. why curl isn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation for fopen() and fsockopen() if it's needed for those functions? why would i need curl compiled in php if i already have openssl compiled with it? the machine i'm using is a freeBSD 4.6 box with apache 1.3.27 and OpenSSL 0.9.6h, php is 4.3.1... i did similar posts on other php lists but everybody's quite.. thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
