PHP has several php.ini files for diffferent operation modes (CLI, apache module etc.) MAke sure you have enabled openssl for php mode you use. Last but not least you have to have OpenSSL libraries installed smile.

Re: Installing 2.3.9

Are you sure you are changing in the right php.ini file. In xamp you might get several apache installations. You should look for  the correct appache???? folder and the php.ini is in the bin cirectory.

Secondly if you are using the correct one, check that you have the php_openssl.dll installed too. It should be in the php -
php??? - ext folder, where ??? is the php version you are using.

Now you must be able to run smile
