I am trying to use fsockopen with an SSL connection in PHP. It does not work on the command line but it does work through a browser. This is a problem because the PHP code is intended to be run as a daemon from the command line (gathering tweets from Twitter).

I figure it must be my environment. If I look at phpinfo through a browser it reports that Registered Stream Socket Transports have tcp, udp, ssl, sslv3, sslv2, tls.

But if I go to my MinGW shell and echo "<? php phpinfo(); ?>" | php I only get tcp and udp.


Also the command line phpinfo doesn't list the Apache environment as the browser one does.


I have php_openssl checked and the php.ini is right. I have the Apache ssl_module checked. On the recommendation of various forums and blogs I have copies libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll into every conceivable location. Still command line phpinfo says only tcp and udp.

Any ideas where my environment has gone wrong?

Firstly your probably editing the wrong php.ini

The command line php uses the php.ini in the php folder

Apache php uses the php.ini in the apache/bin folder.



Secondly why would you expect to see the apache environment In the phpinfo for cli!?
That's the whole point of cli , it doesn't use the apache exe to run, it uses its own exe...

Ahh!! Thank you so much! I had not realized that there are different php.ini files for Apache and for PHP. Talk about banging a head against a wall.
