I just downloaded php for windows from http://windows.php.net/download#php-5.6 (
VC11 x86 Non Thread Safe (2015-Oct-29 21:57:41) and zip file of size 20.22MB).
Then I added the php to my PATH variable. So the PATH variable looks like this:
...; D:\MySoftwares\php\PHP5_6
The PHP5_6 directory contains the php.exe and other files.
I am trying to install composer, but I get this error in screenshot:
I followed various stack overflow posts and they seem to suggest uncommenting the line that says ;extension=php_openssl.dll in file php.ini
Unfortunately for me, I can not see any php.ini file in the PHP5_6 directory. I see php.ini-production and php.ini-development files.(I uncommented these lines in both, but no results)
So how do I go ahead to install composer?
Choose either php.ini-production or php.ini-development and rename it to php.ini.
Those are default configurations, with suggested settings for each kind of environment.
As it seems you are in development, so probably best to take the php.ini-development.

I have installed PHP 7 on windows 10 to my E: drive so I can try out composer.
When I try to run composer I get an error that it can't find the extensions I enabled but I can see it is looking in C:\php\ext and not E:\php\ext.
I looked in php.ini but couldn't see whre to set the path of the root installation.
Does it always default to C:? How do I tell it to look in E:?
For some reason, PHP for Windows is hardwired to look for extensions in C:\php\ext no matter where you installed it. But there's a simple fix for this.
In your php.ini, look for the line extension_dir =. If it's disabled (as a comment), enable it.
You only need to mention the name of the folder where the extensions reside if this folder is inside your PHP installation folder. An absolute path is not necessary.
extension_dir = "ext"
Open a Command Prompt and run php -a to check if PHP complains about missing extensions. If not, you're doing good.
Regarding the answer above, using extension_dir = ".\ext" in the php.ini (Check php --ini) a relative path also works.
I've just starting working on a mac so this is probably very obvious.
I've installed php, pear, and lastly pecl.
My last command was sudo pecl install mongo and am prompted to add the line extension=mongo.so to php.ini configuration.
I am unable to locate the php.ini file. I do a quick php --ini in the CL and am told the path is /etc, /etc/php/apache2/php.ini to be exact. I've tried to unhide files and well as searching via the finder but am told these directories don't exist, even though I believe my installations were done correctly. How can I access this etc directory, as well as others like the php5 folder so I can edit my php.ini file? Thanks. Using Yosemite 10.10.3 and latest php packages.
Just check the phpinfo output to locate the loaded php.ini file (Loaded Configuration File).
I already uncommented in php.ini:
[PHP]
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; About php.ini ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;extension=php_oci8_11g.dll
extension=php_openssl.dll
;extension=php_pdo_firebird.dll
Variables of the system set ok.
PHP version 5.4.16:
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16\php.exe
Add to System path variable:
C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin
But, recive this error:
Some settings on your machine make Composer unable to work properly.
Make sure that you fix the issues listed below and run this script again:
The openssl extension is missing, which means that secure HTTPS transfers are
impossible. If possible you should enable it or recompile php with --with-openssl
I'm using:
windows 7
Wamp
php 5.1.16
apache 2.4.4
How solve this problem, please help me.
Open php.ini located in your "php" folder for example in xampp the file is in XYZ:\xampp\php\
Find "extension=php_openssl.dll"
";extension=php_openssl.dll" - remove ";"
Restart your xampp (or whatever u use), extension should be loaded after that.
Try agien to install composer.
ensure you are editing the php.ini locate on same place where is located php.exe, i was the same problem and wamp say the openssl is actived but Composer-Setup.exe used the php.ini in php directory/ext/ and wamp used C:\System...\php.ini,
Regards,
I have battled this several times. And this is the best solution I have found.
As mentioned, you need to ensure that extension=php_openssl.dll is enabled but doing just that sometimes may not resolve the error.
You should check that you have PHP on your path variable then see what INI file is loaded by typing php --ini in the console it should give you something like:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: C:\WINDOWS
Loaded Configuration File: C:\WINDOWS\php.ini
Scan for additional .ini files in: (none)
Additional .ini files parsed: (none)
Make sure you are enabling the settings in the correct ini file. If you dont have an ini file loaded put an ini file from the php directory into c:\windows.
Also important
I find it helps to change the extension_dir flag to an absolute path from relative to makesure the system can find php_opensll.dll.
To do this uncomment the line starting extension_dir and change it to match from the drive root.
Example: C:\php\ext instead of ext/
For MAMP users, this is what worked for me.
If your php.ini is located under a \MAMP\conf\
copy the php.ini into a\MAMP\bin\php\php[your PHP version number]\
Restart MAMP and the command-line window
Go to a directory under a command-line window where you want to install composer
run from a command line:
php -r "readfile('http://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
NOTE: it is http not https !
END
I figured it out and successfully installed Composer in My windows 10 PC.
I am sharing two solutions here.
There are some steps you have to follow in order to solve your problem.
1st solution.
Find and Open php.ini located in your "php" folder In my case it is in xampp the file is in c:\xampp\php\
Find "extension=php_openssl.dll"
";extension=php_openssl.dll" uncomment by removing the semicolon ";"
Restart your xampp , now extension should be loaded after that.
Try again now you are able to install composer.
2nd solution(If the above solution not work for you then go with below solution . )
This works in my case
Find and Open php.ini located in your "php" folder In my case it is in xampp the file is in c:\xampp\php\
Open SHELL from Xampp start panel by clicking on shell button.
Write php in shell and hit enter
If you get some waring message in your shell something like below .
Then you have to fix these waring message by commenting all these extension in your php.ini file.(Actually cause of these warning messages are because more than one time these extensions are enabled but you can un-comment it in php.ini file for solving the issue).
For Example which is in my case.
a). You can see in above image there is warning message for curl.
Module 'curl' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 .
b) To fix this find php_curl.dll file in your php.ini file and comment that extension by adding semicolon ";" in front of that extension like this ;extension=php_curl.dll
Follow above steps if you have more than one warning for each extension untill you are not getting any warning message in your shell.
Restart your xampp , now extension should be loaded after that.
Try again now you are able to install composer.
Hope I can solve your issue .
That's all folks . Happy coding !!! (amitamie.com) :-) ;-)
The problem solved after turn off windows firewall.
installation complete!
I nearly wrapped my head off trying to install composer on my windows 7 machine.
I was trying to install composer through the composer installer from getcomposer.org.
After the common openssl extension enabling (As above answers describing).
The installer has finished the installation successfully. But calling composer on the command line, wasnt
possible. It was telling me composer / application not found, check for typos etc...
Cant getting it running, I looked at the manually install guide and noticed something weird.
The doc said: "Close your current terminal. Test usage with a new terminal:"
I closed my terminal window. Opened a new one and IT WORKED!!!
I had a terminal window open during the composer installation. After that I was trying to call composer via the command line in this terminal. This didnt work.
So why did it not work?
The composer installer downloads the composer.phar file and sets a environment path to it. The terminal only gets the environment PATHS, when it gets started. So of course the path wasnt set for the terminal.
Solution:
If you have a terminal open before the installation just close it and open a new terminal window to get composer ready to use!!!
I hope I can save someone a couple hours of living time.
You can follow this guide:

Hope it helps you.
Find a php.ini in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16\ (the configuration file of PHP).
Remove ; in lines ;extension=php_openssl.dll and ;extension_dir = "ext". PHP will know that you are using a php_openssl extension and extension_dir is the location of extensions (you can see it in the comment above php_openssl).
Run the Windows command prompt with administrator permissions.
Execute the following command: mklink C:\Windows\php.ini C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16\php.ini
Composer search php.ini in C:\Windows\php.ini and you have your PHP in WAMP. With mklink command you create a link php.ini that aim to your WAMP's php.ini.
i was facing the same issue but i fixed that,
if you are using wamp
goto your selected php version directory and then you need to edit that directory php.ini file
replace this line ;extension=php_openssl.dll to extension=php_openssl.dll and save and then restart then it will be working :)
Beside all of the above If php/xampp is not installed in c drive this problem occurred (what happened with me).
In that case please follow this link :
http://abuango.net/2014/08/16/how-to-install-composer-on-windows-with-xampp/
I was facing the same issue in windows 7 PC with xampp.
Cannot open '\xampp\php\extras\browscap.ini' for reading in Unknown on line 0
I just change the value of 'browscap' in php.ini file. Use full path instead of absolute path.
In my case Xampp was in E drive so I have changed
browscap="\xampp\php\extras\browscap.ini"
to
browscap="E:\xampp\php\extras\browscap.ini"
And it works for me!
We have php 5.4.19 installed. PHP is installed in c:\php. There is a php.ini-development file and a php.ini-production file there. However, there is no php.ini file there. If I run phpinfo() it says:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS
However, I don't see a php.ini file in c:\windows either.
Where the heck is the php.ini file. I know I have found this file before and modified it and I remember it being difficult to find. However, I can't for the life of me find it now.
Oh, the Microsoft search CANNOT find a file named php.ini either.
I tried installing the voidtools and it doesn't find a file named php.ini either.
I tried changing php.ini-production but it doesn't seem to have an effect.
The configuration path isn't important. The next line down should tell you what the loaded configuration file is. I suspect it says "none".
It's possible to run PHP without a configuration file. I don't recommend it. Create a php.ini. After installing PHP, you're supposed to copy either the development or production file to php.ini in the same path, and modify from there.
maybe you dont have file on path c:/php/php.ini and then php try load in windows diretcory maybe you can try create file on c:/php/php.ini if not exists.
P.S sorry for my english
I am trying to install Laravel in WAMP setup. I am getting a warning message for not enabling openssl which I had already done in WAMP.
Here is a screenshot of the message.
It is possible that WAMP and Composer are using different PHP installations. Composer will use the PHP set in the PATH environment variable.
If you want to enable the openssl extension to install Composer, first you need to check the location of the PHP installation.
Open a Command Prompt, type: echo %PATH% then check for the location of your PHP installation.
Go to that location and edit the file named: php.ini.
Uncomment the line extension=php_openssl.dll by removing the semicolon at the beginning.
Now you are good to install Composer.
I solved my problem a different way. The problem is that wamp's GUI was misleading: it claimed that I had php_openssl enabled.. and if I clicked on php.ini on the same GUI.. it actually showed that extension=php_openssl.dll was uncommented..
I'm not sure if i'm using the same installer version of composer of the OP, but it actually asks you at the beginning to specify the php.exe that you like to apply composer on (which basically ensures that no one tries to apply composer to the wrong php executable as what happened with the OP)..
The way I solved this was by going myself into the installation of php within the wamp package: C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12 and looking php.in there.. when I opened it I was shocked that the line extension=php_openssl.dll was actually commented! I uncommented it and it worked just fine.
I had the same problem and here the solution I found, on your php.ini you need to do some changes:
extension_dir = "ext"
extension = php_openssl.dll
Every one here talks active the openssl extension, but in windows you need to active the extension dir too.
For WAMP server, comment given by "Enrique" solved my problem.
wamp is using this php.ini:
c:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin\php.ini
But composer is using PHP from CLI, and hence it's reading this file:
c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\php.ini (so you need to enable openssl there)
For composer you will have to enable extension in
c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\php.ini
Change:
;extension=php_openssl.dll
to
extension=php_openssl.dll
If you're doing this on Windows without one of the WAMP stacks, here's how to get this going
Download an installation of PHP for Windows. Generally you'll want a non-thread safe install. You can use 32-bit or 64-bit builds
Extract the zip file somewhere. I would suggest C:\php. Composer's installer found it there without any additional prompting
The latest versions of PHP for Windows do not come with a php.ini by default. Instead, you'll see two files, as noted below. Rename one to php.ini or copy it into php.ini.
php.ini-development
php.ini-production
Open your php.ini file and remove the semicolon from this line (you might want to uncomment other things as well but this line is the only one necessary for Composer)
;extension=php_openssl.dll
That should be all you need to do. The Composer installer should do everything else you need from here.
You need to enable "extension=php_openssl.dll" in both files (php and apache). my pc files path are these :
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13\php.ini
C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\bin\php.ini
This is an old question but I just had the same issue (with PHP7) and the solution was, in the end, pretty simple. Uncommenting the line in php.ini as per the other answers wasn't quite enough though. I needed to change it from:
;extension=php_openssl.dll
to:
extension=ext/php_openssl.dll
Note the ext prefix. The dll already existed but was in a subfolder. After changing the config the composer installer was happy.
you need to enable the openssl extension in
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\php.ini
that is the php configuration file that has it type has "configuration settings" with a driver-notepad like icon.
open it either with notepad or any editor,
search for openssl "your ctrl + F " would do.
there is a semi-colon before the openssl extension
;extension=php_openssl.dll
remove the semi-colon and you'll have
extension=php_openssl.dll
save the file and restart your WAMP server after that you're good to go.
re-install the application again that should work.
There are two php.ini files, one for development and one for production. Leave those, there is another php.ini file for configuration settings just above them with a gear like icon edit that.
After editting the "right" files (all php.ini's). i had still the issue.
My solution was:
Adding a System variable: OPENSSL_CONF
the value of OPENSSL_CONF should be the openssl.cnf file of your current php version.
for me it was:
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.12\extras\ssl\openssl.cnf
-> Restart WAMP
-> should work now
Source: http://php.net/manual/en/openssl.installation.php
I faced the same problem, but when i was lokking for php.ini and php.exe i found php.exe at C:\UwAmp\bin\php\php-5.4.15 when php.ini at C:\UwAmp\bin\apache.
I just copy php.ini at C:\UwAmp\bin\php\php-5.4.15 and Uncomment the line extension=php_openssl.dll and it fixed.
I am using WAMP server.
Actually its files showed that openssl is opened.
But manually I went to the folder and edited php.ini.
Then I found it has not opened openssl.I uncommented it and it worked after after WAMP restart.
C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.13
Browse to the line that reads:
;extension=php_openssl.dll
and remove the semicolon preceding the line. Restart your WAMP server services (click in your icon tray > 'Restart All Services'
If you still cannot solve your problem have a look at this. This might be the solution you are looking for
There are several php.ini files in C:\wamp\bin\php\php x-y-z folder. You may find production, development and some other php.ini files. No point of editing production and development files. Find the file which is exactly as same as the below image. (You can find it. Just type php.ini in your search bar and do a search). Open the file and remove ; from extension=php_openssl.dll. Save the file and close it. Restart all services in Wampp server. Re-install your composer.
That is it.
Wamp works with another php.ini that is in C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.4.4\bin\php.ini. So you need to manualy find the correct file, that is in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\php.ini. Uncomment the extension=php_openssl.dll line and just try to install Composer again.
For those who're having the same problem as I was. After doing all the solutions above, still didn't work for me. I found out that, uWamp was creating the PHP.INI file in bin/apache directory. So I had to copy the PHP.INI file into php installation directory, that is, bin/php/phpXXXX directory. This should also be where the php.exe is that you selected from the composer setup.
Hope this helps.
If you compiled from source, then adding extension=php_openssl.dll to the php.ini file may not work.
To troubleshoot this, open a command prompt and type php -i. Scroll up to the first line, it will tell you the most recent error regarding your php.ini file.
To solve the issue, find the php_openssl.dll file, for me it was in the very same directory of the compilation output:
C:\php-sdk\bin\phpdev\vc14\x64\php-7.0.13-src\x64\Release_TS
So just add the directory where the extension is, to the php.ini:
extension_dir = "C:\php-sdk\bin\phpdev\vc14\x64\php-7.0.13-src\x64\Release_TS"
Hopefully the error will be gone
If you are using xampp .Go back to where you choose which command-line php you want to use at the beginning of your installation and select the path where your xampp folder is included.After that if your installer says youve got duplicate 'extension=php_openssl.dll' comment one ssl file in your php ini with a ';'and your installation should run smoothly.
