Why this function may not exist
ftp_ssl_connect(3) is only available if both the ftp module and the OpenSSL support is built statically into php, this means that on
Windows this function will be undefined in the official PHP builds. To make this function available on Windows you must compile your
own PHP binaries.
Note
ftp_ssl_connect(3) is not intended for use with sFTP. To use sFTP with PHP, please see ssh2_sftp(3).
