Enabling the PHP SSL Extension
by Tim Dietrich
If you're using the PEAR mail class to send messages via a mail server that requires connections via SSL (such as Google's SMTP servers), you might run into this error:Failed to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

If you've been doing FileMaker custom web development using PHP, you've probably heard of PEAR. PEAR (short for "PHP Extension and Application Repository") is a collection of PHP code that performs many common functions. PEAR packages either provide enhanced versions of functionality that is built into PHP itself, or provide functionality that PHP lacks.

Well, last month didn’t seem to have scared too many of you away. About a dozen more souls braved the chilly winter sunshine to seek out another darkened room to watch geeky Keynote presentations and FileMaker demos. And were glad of it!
Byron Songer dishes out delicious FileMaker-ness for all wanting to learn more about their favorite data muncher.
Byron certainly showed off his extensive experience with FileMaker in the latest installment (FMP 102) of his series on the nuts and bolts of basic data and interface design as it applies to everyone’s favorite database development environment. Presentation and demo files here.
Jonathan progressed from object script triggers (last month) to what can be done with layout script triggers (all seven of them) and why. Presentation and demo files here.
A little refreshment and meeting some new comrades in the FileMaker Revolutionary Cause rounded out a perfect FileMaker-er outing.
Next month you get to listen to some special people who haven’t presented to the group before, so mark your calendar for March 18 (and watch this space) and tell your boss you’re not coming back after lunch that day. If you’re self-employed and your boss doesn’t let you off, they’re a slave-driver and don’t deserve such a great employee as you. See you then!

However, the extension is disabled by default.To enable it (and other extensions), do this:1. Find the php.ini file. The default location is: C:\Program Files\ February 17, 2010Feb 22- Deployment
