php.ini ssl

The php.ini file is a configuration file for PHP. It allows you to customize the behavior of PHP on your server.

To enable SSL in PHP, you need to make sure that the OpenSSL extension is enabled in your php.ini file. Here are the steps to do that:

1. Open your php.ini file in a text editor. The location of the file can vary depending on your server configuration. Common locations include /etc/php.ini, /etc/php/7.4/php.ini, or /usr/local/etc/php.ini.

2. Search for the following line in the file:

   ;extension=openssl

3. Remove the semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line to uncomment it:

   extension=openssl

4. Save the php.ini file and restart your web server for the changes to take effect. The method to restart the web server depends on your server setup. Common commands include sudo service apache2 restart or sudo systemctl restart apache2.

After enabling the OpenSSL extension, you can use SSL-related functions in PHP, such as openssl_encrypt and openssl_decrypt, to work with SSL certificates and encryption.
