The dates from the phpconfig output indicate > you use a very old PHP version. It's 4.4.9 (you clipped off the part of my message with the version number :-). It's the most "recent" version of PHP 4. I'm actually asking this question on behalf of our web programmers, who are pretty far into development and locked into PHP 4 (they're using 4.4.7, but I'm assuming they won't mind switching to 4.4.9). Now they need to retrieve a resource from one of our servers via HTTPS. Is it just not possible to make HTTPS connections from PHP 4 scripts on Windows? Like I mentioned, everything I've read suggests that loading php_openssl.dll will enable the https wrapper as well, but it seems like I'm missing a step. Thanks, Jason
