RE: Re: [PHP] Creating SSL Connection to Accept Credit Cards

Unfortunately, if you don't have CURL support and you can't change that, you may be out of luck. HTTPS support requires CURL and OpenSSL, and in the future at least OpenSSL. I would speak with your hosting provider and see what they recommend. Perhaps they can add in CURL and OpenSSL support. If not, you may need to change providers. :) Jaime > -----Original Message----- > From: Ben C.
