I see that mySQL has SSL support: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Secure_connections.html
And PHP has some SSL support, but do the mysql() functions work transparently with SSL? It seems there would have to be a flag for this mysql_connect() that turned on SSL. http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-connect.php Basically, I have a little box running PHP as a cgi and want it to connect securely (SSL) to a server running mySQL. Is this easily do-able? The other thing is that I fear the mySQL SSL method is going to be overly cumbersome with the key exchanges. I just want a simple encrypted connection.
