Topic: PHP7 with OpenSSL?
I am using the PHP 7 packages, and I need the OpenSSL extension. According to the PHP documentation, the OpenSSL extension must be compiled into PHP itself instead of being added later like other extensions, using
./configure --with-openssl ...
As far as I can tell, PHP in these packages was not compiled that way, and I can't seem to find a package that includes it. However, this blog post recommends using OpenSSL, but doesn't say how (or if) it can be added.
Does this mean that I need to compile PHP 7 myself in order to get OpenSSL support, and that I can't use the packages?
