Bug 73167

php4 extension openssl when building shared does not work as necessary
1) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/71754
2) http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29934

This can't be fixed because PHP4 BUG !
Same bug in php 4.3.8 and now in php 4.3.9

Fix: To fix problem:

1) Remove ports php4-extensions, php4-<EXTNAME>, mod_php4
2) Patch ports with follow patches
3) Install mod_php4, php4-extensions
   Don't try install php4-openssl direcly - it's not needed !
   Even if some port using php4-openssl, all is ok
How-To-Repeat: 
File test.php

<?php
$fp = fsockopen( "ssl://example.com", 443, $errno, $errstr, $timeout = 30);
if (!$fp) {
    echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
    $out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
    $out .= "Host: example.com\r\n";
    $out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";

    fwrite($fp, $out);
    while (!feof($fp)) {
        echo fgets($fp, 4096);
    }
    fclose($fp);
}
?>

Place test.php on web
Show test.php via browser
You are get error 0 !

Remove 'ssl://' and change 443 into 80 - all is ok
