无法在Ubuntu 16.04中下载php_openssl.dll

Question

Before marking this question as a duplicate, please have a look at my problem. I am trying to connect to Azure table using my connectionString which gives me the error as:

failed to open stream: Unable to find the socket transport "http" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

So for this I realised that my openssl is not loaded. Following Drew's answer here , but as expected, after uncommenting: extension=php_openssl.dll and running my server, I get the following error:

/usr/lib/php/20151012/php_openssl.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

This means that php_openssl.dll is not present in my extentions library. So as the answer suggested, I tried to download the dll but cannot find it for Ubuntu. I also tried to install openssl using

sudo apt-get install openssl

to which I get:

openssl is already the newest version (1.0.2g-1ubuntu13)

and then I also proceeded to follow the instructions at this but when I write the command:

tar zxvf php-7.0.18.tar.gz  (where my PHP version is 7.0.18)

I get the following error:

tar (child): php-7.0.18.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory

I am completely stuck and cannot figure out how to locate php_openssl.dll and put it into my extensions folder 20151012 for PHP. Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated :)

Edit:

I have already mentioned above why the answer posted at PHP openssl in Ubuntu does not work for me.

Answer 1

I don't think OpenSSL requires an external extension, its built into ubuntu's PHP, can you try removing and reinstalling PHP again? and try seeing the phpinfo() in browser?

You Should be able to see both of these sections
