PHP MS SQL Security Question

Here's a question that I hope someone here can answer, but I warn you its a bit obscure from what I gather.

I have an MS SQL Server setup to allow encrypted network connections for use on secured websites. While this is easy enough to handle with ASP/Win2000 I need to make a secure connection to the database from PHP/FreeBSD. Is this possible? If so, how would I specify int he connect function that the connection should be encrypted?

thanks in advance.

Hmm wouldnt that use proprietary win2k kerbos encryption algorithms? I think it sends a key+the data to the client, but if your not running a win2k client (in client i mean IIS, Apache, etc) then I doubt it'll work...

Actually, MS SQL Server also supports connections via SSL, but Im not sure on how to tell PHP to make a connection via SSL to an SQL Server.
