3.9.56. `mysqli::ssl_set`, `mysqli_ssl_set`

mysqli::ssl_set
mysqli_ssl_set
Used for establishing secure connections using SSL

Description

Object oriented style

bool mysqli::ssl_set(string key,
                     string cert,
                     string ca,
                     string capath,
                     string cipher);

Procedural style

bool mysqli_ssl_set(mysqli link,
                    string key,
                    string cert,
                    string ca,
                    string capath,
                    string cipher);

Used for establishing secure connections using SSL. It must be called before mysqli_real_connect. This function does nothing unless OpenSSL support is enabled.

Note that MySQL Native Driver does not support SSL before PHP 5.3.3, so calling this function when using MySQL Native Driver will result in an error. MySQL Native Driver is enabled by default on Microsoft Windows from PHP version 5.3 onwards.

Parameters

link: Procedural style only: A link identifier returned by mysqli_connect or mysqli_init
key: The path name to the key file.
cert: The path name to the certificate file.
ca: The path name to the certificate authority file.
capath: The pathname to a directory that contains trusted SSL CA certificates in PEM format.
cipher: A list of allowable ciphers to use for SSL encryption.
