SSL encrypted mysql connections in php

[jwchanman]

I'm trying to connect to my mysql server using a ssl connection. I understand that I can set up a mysql user to connect through ssl as follows:
grant all privileges on db.* to guestuser@'%' identified by 'somepass' require SSL.

however, how do I connect through ssl using php's mysql_connect or mysql_pconnect?

thanks in advance!
