On your "Connecting To Databases" documentation page <http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.database.connection.php> you mention establishing a connection over SSL or using SSH to encrypt the network connection.
I would find the documentation for that page much more helpful if you were to give an example each.
Also, I assume that both of those security tips are only necessary when the web server is different than the database server (i.e., when the database server is not "localhost"). Would you please expand on that in the documentation, too?
Thank you.
