Having recently installed Apache2.2 with PHP 5.2.17 on my Windows 7 development machine, I want to pass along my findings about how to set things up to load the correct versions of the OpenSSL DLLs. Many people have posted elsewhere about the "DLL Hell" that results if the a wrong version is loaded.
First, install Apache 2.2 and check its operation, then download the Windows binaries for PHP from http://windows.php.net/download/. Note that according to the sidebar on that page the recommended version of PHP for use with Apache2 is currently 5.2.17, even though it is back level. Plus, this version comes with all the DLLs you need to use OpenSSL -- no need to recompile as the old PHP man page suggests.
Having verified the PHP installation, turn on the OpenSSL support by uncommenting the line
extension=php_openssl.dll
in php.ini, which you will find in the PHP directory (I'll assume you made that c:/PHP). Next check the location of php_openssl.dll, which you should find in c:/PHP/ext. Also in php.ini find the key extension_dir, and change its value to c:/php/ext. Next, put this location on the end of your PATH (there's no need to reboot).
At this point, when you start Apache it will attempt to load php_openssl.dll, but if your setup is anything like mine you will see an error. I prefer to start Apache manually, and the error appears in a dialog box: "The ordinal 4114 could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBEAY32.dll". (I'm not sure whether you would get this message if you started Apache as a service). The Apache log also contains an error message saying that php_openssl.dll cannot be loaded, though that message doesn't name libeay32.dll. Welcome to DLL Hell.
Libeay32.dll enters the picture because php_openssl.dll depends on it (and also on ssleay32.dll). What I think happens is that Apache first tries to load php_openssl.dll programmatically from the path specified by the extension_dir key. But then, the loading of the so-called dependent DLLs is left to Windows' default mechanism. If Windows finds an incompatible version of a dependent DLL, you get the error.
So clearly the fix is to ensure that the correct version of libeay32.dll is loaded. On my machine, at least three other processes have loaded various versions of this same DLL. They include the Mozy backup client, Windows Explorer (because Mozy installs support in Explorer) and the OpenOffice suite. My machine is quite different in this respect from a dedicated server on which one probably wants as few extraneous processes as possible. Presumably on a server one can follow advice that suggests copying the dlls to the system32 directory, for example. But I'm not about to mess with my other programs by making system-wide changes.
So what to do? I didn't find the available information on how Windows searches for DLLs to be very useful, mainly because I didn't understand it. But it does say that the first place Windows looks is "The directory from which the application loaded."
To cut to the chase, after a lot of experimentation I came to a key realization -- "the application" is APACHE, not PHP. So I copied libeay32.dll to the Apache2.2/bin directory. Problem solved. No error messages and running phpinfo confirms that OpenSSL is present and enabled.
Good luck, and stay out of DLL Hell.
Kurulum
PHP'nin OpenSSL desteğini kullanmak için PHP'yi --with-openssl[=DiZiN] seçeneği ile derlemelisiniz.
OpenSSL kütüphanesi çalışma anındaki normal işlemler için ek gereksinimlere
sahiptir. En önemlisi, OpenSSL'in, rasgele veya yarı rasgele bir sayı
üretecine erişebilmesi gerekir; çoğu Unix ve Unix benzeri (Linux dahil)
platform için bu /dev/urandom veya
/dev/random aygıtına erişebilmek anlamına gelir.
PHP'nin sabit kodlanmış bir öntanımlı yerine sistem şifre listesini kullanmasını sağlayan --with-system-ciphers yapılandırma seçeneği mevcuttur.
Bilginize: Win32 kullanıcıları için
Bu eklentinin çalışabilmesi için bazı DLL dosyalarının bulunduğu yerlerin Windows sistem PATH'ında tanımlı olması gerekir. Bunun nasıl yapılacağı SSS altında "PHP dizinimi Windows'ta PATH'a nasıl eklerim" başlığı altında açıklanmıştır. Eklenti, DLL dosyaları PHP dizininden Windows system dizinine taşındığında da çalışırsa da (çünkü system dizini sistem PATH'ında zaten vardır) bu önerilmez. Bu eklentinin çalışabilmesi için bulunduğu dizine PATH üzerinden erişebilmesi gereken dosyanın ismi: libeay32.dll veya OpenSSL 1.1 itibariyle libcrypto-*.dll
Anahtar üretim ve sertifika imzalama işlevlerini kullanmayı düşünüyorsanız sisteminizde ek olarak geçerli bir openssl.cnf kurulu olmalıdır. Win32 çalıştırılabilir paketlerine örnek bir yapılandırma dosyası eklenmekte ve bu dosya extras/ssl dizinine konmaktadır.
PHP openssl.cnf dosyasını şu mantıksal sırayla araştırır:
Kurulum sırasında yapılandırma dosyasının öntanımlı yere mi kurulacağına yoksa başka bir yere kurup yerini ortam değişkenlerini kullanarak mı belirtileceğine karar verilmelidir. Bir yapılandırma dosyası gerektiren işlevlerdeki
OPENSSL_CONFortam değişkeni varsa, değişkenin değeri yapılandırma dosyasının yolu olarak (dosya ismi dahil) kullanılır.SSLEAY_CONFortam değişkeni varsa, değişkenin değeri yapılandırma dosyasının yolu olarak (dosya ismi dahil) kullanılır.- openssl.cnf dosyasının öntanımlı sertifika alanında bulunduğu varsayılır (openssl DLL'i derlenirken böyle yapılandırılır). Yani, dosyanın öntanımlı yeri: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL\openssl.cnf (x64) veya C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL\openssl.cnf (x86) ya da PHP 7.4.0 öncesinde C:\usr\local\ssl\openssl.cnf.
seçeneklerbağımsız değişkenini kullanarak dosyanın öntanımlı yeri geçersiz kılınabilir.DikkatYetkisiz kullanıcıların openssl.cnf dosyasını değiştirmelerine izin verilmediğinden emin olunmalıdır.
Sürüm Bilgisi
| Sürüm: | Açıklama |
|---|---|
| 7.4.0 | OpenSSL öntanımlı yapılandırma dosyasının yeri C:\usr\local\ssl iken artık sırayla şuralarda aranmaktadır: C:\Program Files\Common Files\SSL ve C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL. |

Beginning with version 1.1.0 OpenSSL did change their libary names!
libeay32.dll is now libcrypto-*.dll (e.g. libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll for OpenSSL 1.1.x on 64bit windows)
ssleay32.dll is now libssl-*.dll (e.g. libssl-1_1-x64.dll for OpenSSL 1.1.x on 64bit windows)

I just wanted to point out that when you compile with openssl and you're specifying a directory, the acinclude.m4 and aclocal.m4 use that directory as such:
{your directory}/includes/openssl/{headerfile}
That being said, you want to specify the directory that the includes directory is in, not the specific directory with the header files.
THIS IS WRONG --with-openssl=/usr/local/includes/openssl
THIS IS RIGHT --with-openssl=/usr/local

FreeBSD includes a modern version of OpenSSL as part of its base system, but doesn't appear to have a pkg-config file, so the PHP configure script can't find the libraries. When compiling PHP on FreeBSD, you should define the OPENSSL_LIBS and OPENSSL_CFLAGS environment variables before running PHP's configure. For FreeBSD 12, the following will work:
export OPENSSL_LIBS="-L/usr -lssl -lcrypto -lz" && export OPENSSL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include" && ./configure --with-openssl [...other configure options...]

OpenSSL and IIS
Open php.ini
uncomment the following:
extension=php_openssl.dll
Make sure you have config the following section pointing to your php install directory (in my case is located in a second partition at e:\php) (very recommended practice)
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "e:/php/ext"
Add your php directory to the PATH variable
start>run>type cmd
on windows console type:
set PATH=%PATH%;e:\php
(remember replace e:\php with YOUR directory)
(note that using %path% is the same as var+=value, so the directory will be appended at the end of the variable)
php5 come with all the dll in the zip package so if you add the php directory to the path variable, you don't need to move anything to your windows system directory (very safe for later updates, because you just replace the content of your php directory)
After all these step you ready.. but of course you need to restart your IIS to apply changes, so
start>run>inetsrv/iis.msc
right click on your computer
all task>restart IIS
done!

SYMPTOMS AND SETUP
------------------
For anyone having problems enabling the PHP openssl extension on WINDOWS.
I uncommented: extension=php_openssl.dll and installed the latest versions of ssleay.dll and libeay.dll in <windows>\system32.
When I restarted my web server and examined phpinfo(), there was no "openssl" headed section (although there were references to openssl in other sections).
I also found this error in my web server logs (<apache dir>/logs/ssl.log and <apache dir>/logs/access.log).
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\\Program Files\\PHP\\ext\\php_openssl.dll' - The operating system cannot run %1.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
I have PHP 5.2.6 running on Apache 2.2.3 for Windows.
CAUSE
-----
This was caused by PHP picking up the WRONG VERSIONS of libeay.dll and ssleay.dll, which were present in multiple locations on my computer.
When any application attempts to use a dll file in windows, the system searches for this file using the following order:
1. The directory from which the application loaded.
2. The windows\system32 directory.
3. The windows\system directory.
4. The windows directory.
5. The current directory.
6. The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable.
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586.aspx)
For PHP running under Apache, the application directory is <apache dir>\bin and NOT <php dir>. PHP was finding OUT OF DATE versions of libeay.dll and ssleay.dll in <apache dir>\bin (probably installed when I enabled SSL support in my web server). Because of this, the latest versions in windows\system32 were never reached.
NOTE: Although my problem was caused by an Apache2 specific configuration, I can imagine others might face this problem if, say, they install the openssl dlls in the PHP directory and add this directory to the PATH. I haven't checked it but I would imagine if another directory in the path contains outdated openssl dlls and this is listed before the PHP directory, a similar situation would occur.
SOLUTION
--------
Either replace the dlls in the first location on the search order, or, as I did, you can install the latest openssl dlls in the the windows system32 directory and just rename to .old the ssleay.dll and libeay.dll files in the search order locations before windows\system32.
Hope that helps others who might be stuck with this.
Mark.

As pointed out here http://php.net/manual/de/reserved.variables.environment.php#98113 make sure that variables_order = "EGPCS" is set in your php.ini (might come without the E flag which means ignore Env variables) otherwise PHP will ignore your Environment variables. This should be part of the documentation btw...

If you want to configure Apache2 under Windows to use OpenSSL - please, for the love of God, do NOT copy around, or even worse - overwrite any DLL's.
First, modern Apache2 is shipped with relevant libraries, second - even if, for some reason, it can't find the right now - you can TELL it to use the right ones.
LoadLibrary.
Yes.
That simple.
LoadLibrary C:/apache2/bin/libeay32.dll
LoadLibrary C:/apache2/bin/ssleay32.dll
LoadLibrary C:/php5/php5ts.dll
LoadModule php5_module C:/php5/php5apache2_4.dll
