I'm getting the following error when trying to connect to SMTP + SSL through PHP using nginx + PHP 5,

Could not connect to smtp host 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com' (5) (Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?)

In phpinfo I see:

OpenSSL support     disabled (install ext/openssl) 

This leads me to believe I've installed OpenSSL incorrectly.

I've read a bunch of places where I should uncomment the following line:

extension = php_openssl.dll

This line does not exist so I added it to the end of my php.ini to no avail. The php_openssl.dll file does not exist anywhere on my server.
