To enable OpenSSL on PHP under Windows, three steps must be taken:

1. enable the extension – make sure to uncomment this line in php.ini:

   extension=php_openssl.dll

2. Add the PHP folder to the PATH environment variable of Windows:

   Control Panel –> System –> Advanced System Settings –> Environment Variables.
   Locate the Path variable in the System Variables block.
   Prepend c:\php; in front of it, or whatever your PHP path is.

3. Create an additional OPENSSL_CONF environment variable for Windows which contains the full path of the OpenSSL config file of PHP:

   Control Panel –> System –> Advanced System Settings –> Environment Variables.
   In the System Variables block click New...
   Variable name: OPENSSL_CONF
   Variable value: C:\php\extras\ssl\openssl.cnf
   Modify that value to match your PHP installation directory!

Restart Windows so the environment changes can take effect.
