Secure connection via PHP's mysql_connect() to a remote MySQL database

Hi Everyone,
I’m trying to make a secure connection via PHP’s mysql_connect() to a remote MySQL database. I’m really surprised and a little frightened by the lack of documentation on this, which I would think be a common task. If anybody knows of any tutorials about making a secure connection via PHP’s mysql_connect() to a remote MySQL database it would be immensely helpful. I’ve searched for MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL usage information but have found very little. I do have an SSL installed on the MySQL server.

Many thanks!

I’m not familiar with this myself, but a quick Google search gave a couple of potentially useful links:

FYI, I searched for: php mysql_connect ssl
