According to the php manual if php 4.3 is configured with openssl you should be able to open a secure socket us fsockopen(ssl://url, socket). I am trying to configure a ups shipment calculator using this method because my host does not have cURL installed. When I use this method I get "Warning: fsockopen(): no SSL support in this build". I have reinstalled php 3 times with "--with-openssl=/[dir]" and still get the error message. All the SSL options show up in phpinfo(). I am currently running php4.3.3, apache1.3.28, openssl0.9.7b, and mod_ssl2.8.15.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
