Php – OpenSSL extension for PHP in Ubuntu

opensslPHP

I'm not sure how to recompile PHP with OpenSSL? I've been looking around the OpenSSL PHP page and the OpenSSL tutorials but I don't see any openssl.so or php-openssl.so around my server?

Is there a simple package on apt-get channel so I can install it from there?

I just need to recompile PHP with OpenSSL, but I have no idea how to do this.

EDIT: I run a dedicated server and it's Ubuntu 11.10.

For a while PHP has had ssl support compliled into it. No extra modules are needed. Check with phpinfo(). E.g., on Ubuntu 10.04:

$ echo '<?php phpinfo(); ?>' | php 2>&1 |grep -i ssl
