Can I use openssl_xxx() to encrypt my page?

Can I use openssl_xxx() to encrypt my page? Are they used for encryption?
Do I have to install openssl on my machine to encrypt my page If my web host has openssl installed and enabled?

My website is very simple with only 2 items to sell. There would be flat rate shipping cost ($x for 1st item and $y for every additional item) for differnt continents so I need to ask customers to enter their addresses(or at least their region) and then pass the info(address, price & shipping) to paypal.

Can anyone suggest a tutorial or document that I can look at to encrypt my code? 😕

Many thanks

You can't use openssl functions to encrypt your page. PHP's SSL support has no relation to whether the server supports HTTPS.

Get your host to install HTTPS on your web site, and get a SSL server certificate if necessary. Then all the pages you serve via HTTPS will be encrypted the whole way, including post data and even their URLs and query strings.

Moreover, it does other things too.
