Re: SLL with PHP?

Thanks Rod.

I did set up a certificate and I added the hostssl line.  Then when I logged
into pg with SSH I got:

"SSL enabled connection. Chiper: DES-CBC3-SHA, bits: 168"

which was great.  But I was suprised that I was still able to connect
normally with PHP.  I wasn't sure if it was working encrypted, or if I had
set something up wrong.  Thanks for the help!

Everything should be this easy :)
