From http://www.zend.com/manual/wrappers.http.php
"Note: HTTPS is supported starting from PHP 4.3.0, if you have compiled
in support for OpenSSL."
So it's obviously done at compilation time. I believe you have to
compile PHP yourself, there is no other official binary distribution
that I am aware of.
Because of laws restricting the use or export of cryptography products
in some countries a lot of people hesitate to make binary versions that
allow encrypted transfer available.
