mysqli::ssl_set -- mysqli_ssl_set — Used for establishing secure connections using SSL

### Description

Object oriented style

bool mysqli::ssl_set ( string `$key` , string `$cert` , string `$ca` , string `$capath` , string `$cipher` )

Procedural style

bool mysqli_ssl_set ( mysqli `$link` , string `$key` , string `$cert` , string `$ca` , string `$capath` , string `$cipher` )

Used for establishing secure connections using SSL. It must be called before mysqli_real_connect(). This function does nothing unless OpenSSL support is enabled.

Note that MySQL Native Driver does not support SSL, so calling this function when using MySQL Native Driver will result in an error. MySQL Native Driver is enabled by default on Microsoft Windows from PHP version 5.3 onwards.

### Parameters

`link`

  Procedural style only: A link identifier returned by mysqli_connect() or mysqli_init()

`key`

  The path name to the key file.

`cert`

  The path name to the certificate file.

`ca`

  The path name to the certificate authority file.

`capath`

  The pathname to a directory that contains trusted SSL CA certificates in PEM format.

`cipher`

  A list of allowable ciphers to use for SSL encryption.

Any unused SSL parameters may be given as `NULL`

### Return Values

This function always returns `TRUE` value. If SSL setup is incorrect mysqli_real_connect() will return an error when you attempt to connect.
