Use Homebrew PHP with OpenSSL instead of SecureTransport

php-openssl.md

This issue is noted here: https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-migrate-db-pro/doc/ssl-errors/

Original reference for this fix is from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26461966/osx-10-10-curl-post-to-https-url-gives-sslread-error/26538127#26538127

Check OpenSSL version

php -i | grep "SSL Version"

You'll likely see this:

SSL Version => SecureTransport

Swap with OpenSSL via Homebrew

brew uninstall php71-mcrypt
brew uninstall php71
brew install --with-openssl curl
brew install --with-homebrew-curl php71
brew install php71-mcrypt

Check OpenSSL version

php -i | grep "SSL Version"
SSL Version => OpenSSL/1.0.2j

If you got "Cannot find libz" errors when installing php71. Run the command below and try again.

xcode-select --install

don't forget to uninstall curl at first
brew uninstall curl

for me was enough just to reinstall curl and php72 and it worked like a charm :)

Thanks!

@netbull can you post your php.ini file.. I've just spent a few hours trying all different options and just cannot get openssl to show up as ssl version in php... curl is showing

$ curl -V
curl 7.59.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0) libcurl/7.59.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2o zlib/1.2.8 libidn2/2.0.4

but php is showing 7.54.0 running 7.2

also when installing php via brew --with-openssl is ignored these days.. I'm stuck at this point don't know what to do.

@raptor235 Same problem here. Any solutions yet?

@raptor235 @rinseringma I found the solution! Not mine but some helpful soul on the internet. I just did it and the following happened...finally!

SSL Version => OpenSSL/1.0.2o

@toddhuish, thank you so much!!!!!

@toddhuish sadly this is not working for me.

I finally had success after many hours. I'm not sure if it was the order in which I uninstalled or installed brews, but I finally got it to work using the method over at "this-old-code" mentioned above. I'm not sure if my ~/.bash_profile changes made a different or not, but I'm posting them here for others. This was recommended by for the compiler after the "brew reinstall curl".

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/curl/bin:$PATH"
LDFLAGS: -L/usr/local/opt/curl/lib
CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/curl/include
PKG_CONFIG_PATH: /usr/local/opt/curl/lib/pkgconfig
