On your "Connecting To Databases" documentation page
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.database.connection.php> you mention
establishing a connection over SSL or using SSH to encrypt the network
connection.
I would find the documentation for that page much more helpful if you were
to give an example each.
Also, I assume that both of those security tips are only necessary when the
web server is different than the database server (i.e., when the database
server is not "localhost"). Would you please expand on that in the
documentation, too?
Thank you.
