    SSL connection between PHP4 & PostgreSQL ???

    Hi,

    I've setup a postgres server (7.4) and confirmed that SSL is enabled - I can successfully
    connect via tcp socket over SSL using the psql client.

    From PHP4, how can I get the pg_connect function to negotiate an SSL connection?

    I gather from researching the issue that pg_connect uses the same libraries as psql, so that
    this should be possible. But I've tried every syntax I can think of... the "options" parameter to
    pg_connect is not well documented.

    I've played with all varieties of "requiressl " or "ssl", alone or as a boolean, e.g.,
    "requiressl=tru e", etc...

    If not possible in PHP4, is it in PHP5?

    Any help greatly appreciated!

    First, are you sure that SSL is linked into PHP? Use phpinfo() if you're
    not sure.

    Second, what are you using for a connect statement?

    Here's a sanitized version of one that works for me:

    DB::connect("pg sql://foobar:mypasswo rd@tcp+99.99.99 .99/dbnm?requiressl =true");

      Hello,


      Have not done this in a while but I believe you have to compile PHP with
      openssl support.

      Sincerely,
