Handling "The openssl extension is missing: in XAMPP
I tried to Install composer on my PC (Windows 8 Pro 64x and XAMPP 3.2.1), so I downloaded Windows Installer and run it But I got this error:
The openssl extension is missing, which means that secure HTTPS transfers are impossible.
I searched about this problem and I tried some solutions
extension=php_openssl.dll
was uncomment in php.ini file in C:\xampp\php\php.ini and there's no other php.ini file on my system (I searched for it)
Also when I run "php --ini" command in CMD, I get this:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: C:\windows
Loaded Configuration File: (none)
Scan for additional .ini files in: (none)
Additional .ini files parsed: (none)
if it helps.
I hope someone helps me. Tnx
Answer
";extension=php_openssl.dll" is commented out in the php.ini file. Simply remove the comment, save the file, rerun the Composer Install.
