To have a secure HTTP session, you must be communicating with a secure
web
server. This is apache. It has nothing to do with PHP or Linux.

You classmate was right. The only difference for SSL is that you use
https
instead of http. To find out if your server can communicate using SSL,
try
it. If you try to access a web page using https and the server is not a
secure server, you will get an error message. Page connot be displayed.

If you are using Apache and you installed it yourself, if you did not do
extra stuff to make it SSL, then it is not. For more info, go to main
apache
web site, www.apache.org, and follow links to apache-ssl and mod_ssl.
