Comment (by andrewbevitt):

 I agree this should be included. But, the patch shouldn't silently drop
 the certificate file if the file does not exist. This would allow the
 connection to be opened without SSL which the MySQL server may allow.

 It would be better to pass the parameter as given, and allow the
 mysqli_real_connect call to fail. This seems to be the intended idea, as
 the PHP docs for mysqli_ssl_set indicate it always returns TRUE
 (http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.ssl-set.php).
