I use apache, Php and MySql on my Windows XP machine at home. I have
been doing so successfully now for a long time. However, I am now
trying to use fopen to open secure URLs (https) and having no luck. I
have installed openssl and enabled the extension (phpinfo says so,
too). But still it does not work.

I now realize that I need to have https and ftps as registered streams,
i.e.,
Registered PHP Streams php, http, ftp, https, ftps, compress.zlib
(from phpinfo at my hosting provider)

When I run phpinfo on my version of Php (which I just downloaded from
php.net) it says,
Registered PHP Streams php, http, ftp, compress.zlib

I've been reading forum posts saying to compile Php with
"--with-openssl in your ./configure
command."

Well, I do not compile Php from source (don't even have a C compiler).
I always download binaries (like php-4.4.0-Win32.zip that I downloaded
today from php.net).

How do I get a binary that was compiled with openssl in the configure
command? Or if I am misunderstanding something here, what is is that I
need to do?

Thanks in Advance,
