Please help what to do ? when enable openSSL in php.ini it throws below warning

Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/php_openssl.dll' - /opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/php_openssl.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Answer 1

You have to enable openssl otherwise you can't make a ssl connection.

You can do that in your php.ini if its already installed. Otherwise you have to install it first.

Perhaps as another solution install the php5-cli version with openssl and don't use the lampp stack. You can install the command with apt-get install php5-cli php5-openssl. Then you should use the internal package and it should work.
