what does the mysqli real connect MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL_DONT_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT flag do? How to disable only CN validation?

mysqli_real_connect has a parameter called flags than can be passed to it. One of the flags in MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL_DONT_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT. What does this flag do? Does it only disable the CN validation, or does it also disable the certificate validation against a CA authority. SSL_CONEXT talks about options peer_name peer_verify peer_verify_name I would like to use these to at least disable only the verify_name part, or maybe even set the peer_name and have both validations turned on. Seems this context function is only available for streams and not mysqli. Openssl seems to have the ability to do this, however it does not appear to be exposed via mysqli. I am guessing the flag above equates to peer verify and not peer_verify_name, or equates to both. I suppose I could download the source for php_pmysqli, and have a look, would that be the correct package to look at?
