SSL sessions in PHP?

[Anon]

Hi all,

Is there a possible way to communicate, using PHP, to another SSL socket?

What I'm trying to do is this: We have came up with a custom-written server daemon and it accepts SSL sockets. A PHP program must be able to connect to this SSL socket. So far (4.0.6) the OpenSSL functions in PHP may only seal and decrypt data, but not able to connect to this SSL socket.

Thanks for your help,

Bill

if you use https:// instead of http:// i think you connect automaticly to that socket

The SSL connection is from my PHP program to another program (it's a UNIX daemon that only accepts SSL socket connections).

From my limited knowledge I think that https:// only connects from a web browser to the web server.

Apologies but I should elaborate more of my situation.

The UNIX daemon accepts raw SSL connections sockets and uses its own protocol for communication on top of the SSL connection, therefore https may not be very helpful here.
