Hi, i can use https to post data to apache2 server, is there any way of using https to retrieve some data from the server, running php script or something to return
Thanks
A:
not sure what you are trying to say but you can always use this
$f=file_get_contents('https://example.com');

That depends on what output format you want. Try print_r($array) for arrays or var_dump($object) for objects. If you want JSON output take a look at json_encode() in the PHP manual.

If your code is on the same server as the data you might not need an https connection. You can probably just read the data. If you need to use a web-API, check its documentation for how to connect over a secure connection.
