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

the problem in question. i've done thorough investigation solutions in regards , know there topics , i've followed them , nothing has worked. being said i'll list out i've done far. running php 5.2.14 zend debugging on latest eclipse version on windows xp computer. have 1 gb of ram. have xampp running apache, mysql, , filezilla installed.

on xampp i've done following (apache off during these changes): clicked on admin xampp control panel , went https:// localhost/xampp/. there accepted certs line on welcome page:

for openssl support please use test certificate https:// 127.0.0.1 or https:// localhost.

on same section checked phpinfo(). under 'environment', server["https"] on. under 'apache environment', https on. under 'php variables, _server["https"] on. under 'phar', openssl support disabled (install ext/openssl). don't know how enable phar one.

now regarding files in c:\xampp, went php folder. under both production , development php.ini files (better safe sorry), have allow_url_fopen=on, allow_url_include=on, , removed semicolon, extension=php_openssl.dll no longer commented out. confirmed .dll in ext folder of php folder. both libeay32.dll , ssleay32.dll in php , apache folders. apache folder doesn't contain either productive or development php.ini files.

i've went http://www.slproweb.com/products/win32openssl.html , installed win32 openssl v1.0.0d safe measure.

now line of code in question in retrieve_website.php looks this:

$urlquery = "https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=".$appid."&cx=".$google_searchid."&q=".$query."&alt=atom&num=".$results; $xmlresults = file_get_contents($urlquery); 

i have 2 other websites query served via http , work fine. have line of code entered near end of script:

echo 'openssl: ',  extension_loaded  ('openssl') ? 'yes':'no', "\n"; echo 'http wrapper: ', in_array('http', $w) ? 'yes':'no', "\n"; echo 'https wrapper: ', in_array('https', $w) ? 'yes':'no', "\n"; echo 'wrappers: ', var_dump($w); 

when run php script on eclipse, outputs fine way want along these results:

openssl: yes http wrapper: yes https wrapper: yes wrappers: array(10) {   [0]=>   string(5) "https"   [1]=>   string(4) "ftps"   [2]=>   string(3) "php"   [3]=>   string(4) "file"   [4]=>   string(4) "data"   [5]=>   string(4) "http"   [6]=>   string(3) "ftp"   [7]=>   string(13) "compress.zlib"   [8]=>   string(14) "compress.bzip2"   [9]=>   string(3) "zip" } 

despite these changes i've made (after started apache), still same errors first time access php script in eclipse , firefox via http://localhost/tutorial/retrieve_website.php:

warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: unable find wrapper "https" - did forget enable when configured php? in c:\xampp\htdocs\tutorial\retrieve_website.php on line 29

what have overlooked or failed do? own knowledge, i've done i've researched concerning https , openssl

i solved in xampp uncommenting ;extension=php_openssl.dll in /apache/bin/php.ini despite phpinfo() telling me /php/php.ini loaded ini file.

edit: guess ezra answer best solution directly adding extension line appropriate ini file.
