fsockopen via ssl

[Jesse]

I'm having issues attempting to create an ssl connection using
fsockopen. my code contains the following line .

fsockopen("ssl://siteaddr",993,$errno,$errmsg,20);

error message reported:
Error: unable to connect to ssl://server.name.tld:993

When i tail the logs on the remote machine i see no connection attempts
from the web server. it appears to die before attempting to make a
connection attempt.

phpinfo indicates:

php version : 4.3.3 (win32)
OpenSSL support enabled
OpenSSL Version OpenSSL 0.9.7b 10 Apr 2003

Googling reveals , the following threads regarding the use of this dll
php4ts.dll , instead of the php_openssl.dll. When i restart apache with
the php4ts.dll loaded, i receive errors stating its not a php binary.

any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Starting from the beginning - is there a listening port 993 open on
server.name.tld? Can you connect with anything else (even good old Telnet)?

Can you say _OLD_. There have been quite a couple of vunerablilities in
openssl since.

<q src='http://www.php.net/manual/en/transports.php'>
The ssl:// and tls:// transports (available only when openssl support is
compiled into PHP) are extensions of the tcp:// transport which includes
SSL encryption. Since PHP 4.3.0 OpenSSL support must be statically
compiled into PHP, since PHP 5.0.0 it may be compiled as a module or
statically.
</q>

Since you are using a dll it's not compiled into php (hence no static),
so according to the reference you are getting the correct behavior :)

connection to the remote server is fine via stunnel or openssl on port
993, server is actively taking connections.

old really isnt an issue, as this is an app run behind a corporate
firewall. With limited outbound, and *no* inbound access from the
outside world.

now the question is , how can i find a pre-built win32 binary with ssl
compiled in?

To get the https wrapper working on Windows,
you need to replace your php4ts.dll with the
one provided at
http://ftp.proventum.net/pub/php/win32/misc/openssl/.
This is instead of using the php_openssl.dll,
so be sure to comment this extension in your php.ini.
