How to use SSL

HI, I have intall apache 1.3.x with ssl (openssl and modssl)

From PHP how to use SSL?

For cases assume :
Page A contain login form (like hotmail or yahoo!) only login form no PHP or anything else,

Page B is our PHP file used to verified user (username and password).

Am I need to secured Page A with HTTPS or just need to secured Page B since page A only contain <form> to login.

how to call SSL from page A?
am I only need to type action="HTTPS://domain//Page_B.php" on <form> tag?

Sorry for bad english, Thanks any answer will be very appreciated

Your form action needs to use https:// in order to send the submitted data securely to page B. I think it's pretty common practice to use https:// for page A also, so that users know they're sending their data encrypted.

Hm...A little things that confuse me, PHP has a lot build in function to deal with SSL. But by just calling HTTPs I can use SSL. So what this function used for? I have read it's documentation but still cann't understand.

I'm not sure what functions you're talking about for PHP and SSL. What you're wanting to do is at a higher tier than PHP code, though. You're wanting (I understand) simply to encrypt the results of a form posting. In order to do this, you just need to send the info over an SSL connection, which you do by specifying https:// in the form action.

thanks for your help dhouston.
