Using SSL with database <-> webserver connections.

Hey folks,

    I'm hoping this question is suitable for this group.
I did do some archive searches on the PHP mailing lists, with
either no hits, or a billion.

    My ultimate goal is to have all connections between
my webserver and the database server use SSL.  I have both
the database and psql (two separate OpenBSD machines)
compiled with SSL built-in, and that works fine.

    Now, within the PHP code on the webserver, I need
to open the connection using SSL if possible.  Using the
resources on php.net, I need to:

pg_Connect("host=myHost port=myPort tty=myTTY options=myOptions
dbname=myDB user=myUser password=myPassword ");

    That's fine - I can handle that.  However, that's as
much detail as they give towards the options.  My question is,
does anyone here know what specific option I can put in the
connect string to use SSL only?  Is this possible?

    I'm hoping that some kind soul can give me a quick
response - I'd rather not wade through the signal-to-noise
ratio over on the PHP lists.  If this is completely off-topic,
I will.  Just send me a polite "Go over there, idiot."  :)

Thanks much!

Benny
