That's exactly what he is trying to do. See here:

Now that you mention it...
The user comments on that page suggest that OpenSSL support is already
compiled into the PHP4 binary distribution. You just have to define an
environment variable to point to the config file and copy an important
OpenSSL dll to the system32 directory. It doesn't say anything about
PHP5 though.
I have never cared about OpenSSL support for PHP because I never needed
it. I only needed it in Apache. And I also still use PHP4, so not
everything I know might be applicable to PHP5.
@Chuck: You should really give this page a look, it might help you set
things up correctly.
Bye!
