The essential point to bear in mind when adding SSL to a webserver is; what you're really doing is adding a port-based virtualhost (usually on port 443) that uses an additional protocol layer (HTTPS). All you should be doing is *adding* directives so no changes should be necessary to existing config directives. PHP is just a bunch of server-sided logic and so doesn't know or care whether the protocol used to connect was HTTP or HTTPS - so I would say it should make no difference.
