Installazione

To use PHP's OpenSSL support you must also compile PHP --with-openssl[=DIR] .

The OpenSSL library also has additional requirements for normal operation at run-time. Most notably, OpenSSL requires access to a random or pseudo-random number generator; on most Unix and Unix-like platforms (including Linux), this means that it must have access to a /dev/urandom or /dev/random device.

Nota: Note to Win32 Users

Perché questa estensione possa funzionare, delle DLL devono essere disponibili nel PATH di sistema di Windows. Vedere la FAQ intitolata "Come aggiungere la cartella di PHP al PATH in Windows" per informazioni su come farlo. Anche se copiare i file DLL dalla cartella di PHP alla cartella di sistema di Windows funziona (poiché la cartella di sistema è di default nel PATH di sistema), non è raccomandato. Questa estensione richiede che i seguenti file siano nel PATH: libeay32.dll

Additionally, if you are planning to use the key generation and certificate signing functions, you will need to install a valid openssl.cnf file on your system. As of PHP 4.3.0, we include a sample configuration file in our win32 binary distributions. PHP 4.3.x and 4.4.x has the file in the openssl directory. PHP 5.x and 6.x has the file in the extras/openssl directory. If you are either using PHP 4.2.x or missing the file, you can obtain it from » the OpenSSL binaries page or by downloading a recent PHP release. Be aware that Windows Explorer hides the .cnf extension by default and says the file Type is SpeedDial.

PHP will search for the openssl.cnf using the following logic:

• the OPENSSL_CONF environmental variable, if set, will be used as the path (including filename) of the configuration file.
• the SSLEAY_CONF environmental variable, if set, will be used as the path (including filename) of the configuration file.
• The file openssl.cnf will be assumed to be found in the default certificate area, as configured at the time that the openssl DLL was compiled. This is usually means that the default filename is c:\usr\local\ssl\openssl.cnf.

In your installation, you need to decide whether to install the configuration file at c:\usr\local\ssl\openssl.cnf or whether to install it someplace else and use environmental variables (possibly on a per-virtual-host basis) to locate the configuration file. Note that it is possible to override the default path from the script using the configargs of the functions that require a configuration file.
