I would like to help you but I can't. This is PHP issue, not MySQL-s. SSL connections are supported by MySQL, they are also available in C API but I am not sure if and how PHP uses them. Looking up into PHP manual http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mysql.php won't show up needed functionality for this. You have three options: 1. Use third party tunnel (CIPE, stunnel, ssh for example) to encrypt communication. 2. If you really want these functions to appear, contribute community by sponsoring coding these functions into PHP. 3. do not use encryption or wait until somebody else does it for PHP.
