调用未定义的函数openssl_decrypt

Question

When I try to make a request with POST to a script that has this line:

$decrypted_data = openssl_decrypt($encrypted_data, 'AES-256-CBC', $key);

I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function openssl_decrypt() in mypath/usuario_webservice.php on line 11

After some research the common reasons would be entering the wrong name for the function or the openssl extension not being installed on my web server. It turns out that it is installed as I checked with the support. So, what else should I be looking for?

Answer 1

Enable this extension in your php.ini file by removing semicolon

extension=php_openssl.dll

Restart your Apache server and retry
Hope that helps :)
