Yep. And I uncommented that line in php.ini. (extension=php_openssl.dll)

Thanks for the help. I don't see any such file, however ......

...... I installed a compiled binary .... Win32OpenSSL-v0.9.8.exe ....
.... that I got from the Shining Light Productions site (a link from
openssl.org).
http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

In the help file (.chm for Windows) it says that I can uninstall it if I
do not plan on developing any apps that incorporate the SSL library and
it will leave the needed dlls in the Windows/system folder.

I understand that from what I've done, SSL should be properly installed
(I can use openssl from the command line) , however, Php still does not
show https and ftps as registered streams and I can not use fopen on
secure URLs.

I have found nothing about setting environment variables. ?? Do I need
to do something more in php (php.ini) or in Apache httpd.conf?
