I think modssl is not really what you want, an SSL enabled web server wont do much for the PHP-MySQL connection.
Rather I think you'd want an SSL enabled MySQL, you can make then an SSL MySQL client and server but not sure how then PHP would make use of that...it might be easier to simply set up a secure tunnel to the remote server if you have SSH on the server, this would be simple to set up and simple to program for. http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/e/Security.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/e/Secure_connections.html Didnt personally try compiling an SSL MySQL, but should be "fairly" straight forward. To set up a tunnel get an SSH client and activate port forwarding from the server:3306 to whatever local port you wish to run that MySQL session on. By doing this you can also disable the external MySQL accounts (e.g. root@%) as it uses the SSH session, therefore you could even block off port 3306 to the outside.
