Latest Composer version not pulling Laravel

Question

The Latest version of Composer is not pulling Laravel, I thought it could be because of Composer added new secure_http feature for downloading from Packagist and Laravel Pac

Answer 1

I suggest to enable openssl using:

composer config -g -- disable-tls false

And then you also need to active it in php.in

Open php.ini and search for php_openssl and you end up like this extension=php_openssl.dll

The php_openssl.dll file is in ext directory of your php so if you changed php directory and have an error like

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 
'C:\php\ext\php_openssl.dll' - The specified module could not be found. 
in Unknown on line 0

You need to set extension=php_openssl.dll to extension="your php direcroty"\ext\php_openssl.dll
