[PHP] fsockopen and SSL

[Ralph]

i'm trying to make a POST request to my merchant's https server using
the following:

foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $value){
                        $value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
                        $req .= "&$key=$value";
                }
                
                $header .= "POST /gw/native/direct2.1 HTTP/1.0\r\n";
                $header .= "Content-Type:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
                $header .= "Content-Length: ".strlen($req)." \r\n\r\n";
                $fp = fsockopen('ssl://secure.netbilling.com', 443,
$errno, $errstr, 30);

                if(!$fp){
                        echo $errstr($errno);
                } else {
                        fputs($fp, $header . $req);
                        while(!feof($fp)){
                                $res = fgets($fp, 1024);
                        }
                        
                        fclose($fp);
                }


but I get following error:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: no SSL support in this build
in
/usr/home/trivisions/html/sextoymerchant.com/payment/checkout_confirm.ph
p on line 64

So does this mean that my PHP installation does not support SSL, and
that I have to recompile PHP again?

I looked at the PHP installation configure options but did not see
anything regarding SSL, so how would I install this?

I am running  PHP Version 4.3.1
