Https secure php login page?

Question

I am new to php, I can make a simple login page, for example, create a form, submit a form, process and authenticate on a php page, etc.

I read on the Internet somewhere and saw some large companies, such as banks, google and yahoo, their login form in "https" is not "http". So I'm trying google what "https" is. Well, I can’t say that I completely understand what it is, but I think I know this concept, i.e. Create a more secure login page.

I believe php can do this (because I saw wordpress using https and wp uses php). Is there any tutorial or can you give some sample code on how to make a secure https login page using php? I don't need the full code (because I dun want to bother you guys), but if you can give the full code, I would be most appreciated :)

Answer 1

You need to buy an SSL certificate from a company such as Verizon or InstantSSL . Then you need a web host that has Open SSL or other software for processing SSL certificates.

When you buy a certificate from Verizon / Instant SSL, you will get some encrypted code with which you can configure your Open SSL software, and then with https: // URLs will work.

This is not something you can do using simple php.
