ftp_ssl_connect() unavailable, OpenSSL support is enabled

Question

I need to use ftp_ssl_connect() in a script sometimes instead of ftp_connect(), so I read the requirements on php.net and recompiled with OpenSSL support. phpinfo() shows that it is in fact enabled:

openssl

OpenSSL support         enabled
OpenSSL Library Version OpenSSL 0.9.7e-p1 25 Oct 2004
OpenSSL Header Version   OpenSSL 0.9.7e-p1 25 Oct 2004

Yet the function is still undefined. Not exactly sure where to check next. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm on FreeBSD 6.4 running PHP 5.3.2. Thanks!

My guess is that while you recompiled PHP with OpenSSL support, the FTP extension is a shared object that was not rebuilt.

Make sure you tell the configure script you want to build the FTP extension.
