Message : file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Unable to find the wrapper "https" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?


I am trying to use file_get_contents() over an SSL connection and it would seem its causing some problems!!

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks in advance,

James

Usually to use PHP to read or write over an SSL connection, it requires that you re-compile the executable from source and enable OpenSSL support. Obviously, you'll also need the the libraries for OpenSSL as well.

Hi, thanks for your reply... I am getting the web server people to recompile as we speak and make sure that everything for OpenSSL was ticked properly because this has already been done once :-S

So I am guessing that I should still be able to use fle_get_contents() etc over SSL and there must be a problem somewhere?

It looks like OpenSSL didn't compile properly/at all before - the phpinfo suggested it was there, but it wasn't enabled.

All sorted now,

Thanks

Great it works, but the current security reccomendations are to not allow http as a name in the file system commands (for security reasons).
Have a look at curl which is probably safer.
