Disclaimer - I'm still something of a PHP newbie, so please do not take this as definitive or authoritative advice, but hopefully you'll still find it helpful. My guess is that you won't find a way to create an SSL server socket in PHP, as most PHP use is web-facing - all the SSL details on that end would be handled by the web server (Apache, IIS, etc.) before the PHP interpreter fires up. My best suggestion for you would be to use stunnel (http://stunnel.org/) or something similar to handle the SSL details of the server connection and pass the actual data on to your server's socket - it's pretty straightforward to use.
