Mountain Lion Zend Install - You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https

Question

I've been trying to get Zend installed on my Mac Pro for some time. I've tried installing it manually, with homebrew, and with port. I've changed php's, reinstalled php, updated php, reinstalled openssl multiple times.

php.ini has openssl in it and it is uncommented, curl is also enabled.

no matter which way I go about it I always get a message like this or very similar (always ssl)

You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https

I also installed a certificate for ssl.

currently I have downloaded the zip for the Zend 2.2.2 'tutorial', extracted to a sites directory and have run

composer install

which as given me:

Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev) 
   - Installing zendframework/zendframework (2.2.2)
                                                            
  [RuntimeException]                                                 
  You must enable the openssl extension to download files via https   

install [--prefer-source] [--prefer-dist] [--dry-run] [--dev] [--no-dev] [--no-custom-installers] [--no-scripts] [--no-progress] [-v|vv|vvv|--verbose] [-o|--optimize-autoloader]

I know its installed. I've reinstalled it 3 times. Only thing I can think of is maybe there is more than one php.ini but I haven't been able to find a second one.

thanks in advance for any advice.

I ran php info in apache and got the old install of php version 5.3, when I run it from the command line I get the new 5.4 ?

$ openssl version

OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013

$ composer diag

Checking platform settings: FAIL

The openssl extension is missing, which will reduce the security and stability of Composer.

If possible you should enable it or recompile php with --with-openssl

There is more than one php.ini - the command line version of PHP has a separate one. To see what that is, run php -i | grep ini from the command line - the output should include the .ini files being used near the top.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a Mac user so things may be different in Apple world.)
