You just have to enable SSL support for apache, do install mod_ssl for apache,

yum install mod_ssl
hail to linux!!!

ssl in php and ssl in apache are different things. openssl does a lot more than the "https" you're used to; it can also create or verify digital signatures, encrypt or decrypt files or streams, etc.
Watch out for the Manners Taliban!
Isn't it amazing how so many people can type "linuxpakistan.net" into their browsers but not "google.com"?

Dear mejam,
Salam,

Make sure you have compiled php with SSL support along with GnuTLS support.

I have done same thing for person having same issue. He was trying to call some of his programming script using SSL hard coded in PHP.

FYI, http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/
