Certainly a useful article.  But I should point out this doesnt deal with PHP-
MySQL encryption, only on the User-Apache end.  See image:

What the other man was hoping to do (if I understood) was use a remote MySQL 
database to where he hosts the site, and from PHP access it securely.  
Therefore a secure tunnel will help on this side.

Obviously it should be said that no matter what this set up would be more 
dangerous than having a MySQL server behind the firewall where the apache/php 
server is hosted, also would be terribly slow.

Suggestion to get around this might be to use a secure tunnel and replicate 
data locally, if it doesnt need to be live at the other end that is.
