Thanks Rod.
I did set up a certificate and I added the hostssl line. Then when I logged
into pg with SSH I got:
"SSL enabled connection. Chiper: DES-CBC3-SHA, bits: 168"
which was great. But I was suprised that I was still able to connect
normally with PHP. I wasn't sure if it was working encrypted, or if I had
set something up wrong. Thanks for the help!
Everything should be this easy :)

Libpq does all of the work. PHP has no notion of an encrypted
session, it just tells libpq to connect.
If you create a certificate for postgresql (see docs) libpq will
normally use an encrypted session by default. By setting hostssl in
pg_hba.conf it will enforce that all connections must be encrypted to
connect -- kinda a guarentee.
Anyway, it is that simple.
