SSL Query

Does anyone know if you can use SSL on an IIS server with PHP, i know you can do it with apache and openssl, but not about iis

I've never had the experience of using IIS, let alone install it to support SSL. I've only done so with Apache and it seemed at the time that there were several resources scattered about--I had to search through all of them and piece together my own "proceedure" that would work for me.

That said, I would assume a lot of the documents presenting general theory behind SSL would remain the same irregardless of which server platform you decide to use.

A quick search on google pointed me to these, which I hope can be of some help for you:
How to Install SSL - Part 1
How to Install SSL - Part 2

Best of luck.

I know how to install SSL with IIS, thats the simple matter What I really need to know is can PHP use SSL on IIS, cause I know it can use OpenSSL on Apache.

Basically I'm needing to write a site with SSL and it needs to sit on a windows box, my boss LOVES IIS and i'm using PHP but i need to know if i can use php and ssl together on a windows server without having to buy anything other than an SSL certificate, otherwise i'm going to have to port the whole lot to ASP.NET which as you can imagine i'm not happy about

PHP and SSL are two different things that don't rely on each other. When you use SSL it secures the traffic between the client and the server. It has nothing to do with PHP. When you have SSL installed with the web server, everything's good. All your PHP scripts have to do is make every link have https:// as the protocol part of the URL.

ah ha right thats what I wanted to know I suppose OpenSSL module is for creating certificates, which was probably why I was getting confused
