Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Ability to open files over https:// is ONLY avaliable in version 4.3.0 and would only work if you had OpenSSL support compiled into PHP.
