I have read both of the mentioned pages a few times - while I was trying
to get Php4 to open https streams. Since doing all that, I now have
Apache2 installed with the mod_ssl extension. I have installed OpenSSL
0.9.8a and placed the two dll's (ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll) in the
correct folder (Windows/System32). I also found a version of Php4 that
uses SSL.
My best guess is that your first reply is correct - I need to compile
PHP5 --with-openssl (either get the tools to do the compilation myself
or find one already compiled that way).
