Unable to find the wrapper "https" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

Question

I solved it in XAMPP by uncommenting ;extension=php_openssl.dll in /apache/bin/php.ini despite phpinfo() telling me /php/php.ini was the loaded ini file.

EDIT: I guess Ezra answer is the best solution directly adding the extension line to the appropriate ini file.

I had to add extension=php_openssl.dll to my php.ini file located in xampp/php/php.ini. Somehow it was not there, after adding it and restarting Apache everything was working fine.

just add two lines in your php.ini file.

extension=php_openssl.dll
allow_url_include = On

its working for me.

Your Apache is probably not compiled with SSL support. Use cURL instead of file_get_contents anyway. Try this code, if it fails then I am right.

function curl_get_contents($url)
{
  $curl = curl_init($url);
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
  $data = curl_exec($curl);
  curl_close($curl);
  return $data;
}

I have enable the openssl extention and it work for me :)

;extension=php_openssl.dll

to

extension=php_openssl.dll

In my case (PHP 7.3 on Windows in FastCGI mode) it was uncommenting extension=openssl. Not extension=php_openssl, as most people post here.

(The same thing was posted here, but without details on OS which may be a key difference here.)
