I'm trying to use the php function file(), which can take a url attribute ie:

 

file('https//www.somesite.com/somefile.txt')

 

I want to read a text file from an external, secure site. I get this error message and cannot figure out how to add the wrapper for https:

 

Message: file() [function.file]: Unable to find the wrapper "https" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

 

I do confirm that the wrapper "https" is NOT enabled with my install of 3.5 Apollo.

My php.ini contains this switch: allow_url_fopen = On

 

How do I enable the https wrapper?

Thanks

Dave

The quick answer is to upgrade to 4.*-Mona

 

However if you still wish to use 3.5 no problem:

 

Edit: UniServer\usr\local\php\php.ini

 

Located this line: ;extension=php_openssl.dll

Remove the semi-colon to give : extension=php_openssl.dll

 

Now the painful part, download the full version of PHP 5.2.3

 

From: http://www.php.net/releases/ (windows binary)

 

Locate php-5.2.3-Win32\ext\php_openssl.dll

 

And copy to folder: Uniform Server\udrive\usr\local\php\extensions

 

That should work

 

All the best

Thanks ric,

Is there some reason I can't just use php_openssl.dll from the 4.3 Mona download?

Different php version perhaps?

No problem it was only 9.4 MB

Thanks again
