I know the difference but I failed to point out the difference clear in
my post and there are good resons in this case to make suggest mod_ssl
is installed.
The OP is going to be submitting details to neteller and I assumed they
will be submitted to him over the web.
When processing banking info over the web its best to have a secure
connection between the web browser->server/php script as well as
between the script/merchant bank. This would need mod_ssl installed in
the server as well as the ssl client functions enabled in php and this
is why I talked about mod_ssl in apache being needed.
Of course I should have said in my post that mod_ssl isnt needed to
enable the the ssl functions in php so thanks for pointing it out.
