Using https with Apache/PHP on Win32?

Hi,

I'm trying to create a secure login page for the administrative section of my site, probably using https, because I don't want anyone snooping passwords between the client and the webserver.

I've got a webserver running, and I notice that PHP has something called 'OpenSSL', which uses certificates, private keys, public keys etc. I don't know if I need this to create a secure HTTP connection between the user and the webserver, and unfortunately the PHP manual is a bit thin on giving examples of how to use the OpenSSL functions.

Does anyone have any experience of creating https connections using Apache?

Many thanks.
