APNS Openssl Connection from PHP for Apple Push Notification?

Finally i have sent a notification from my local server to my device. I followed this tutorial http://www.raywenderlich.com/3525/apple-push-notification-services-tutorial-part-2 and many of the peoples from stack overflow helped me to reach this. I Thank you all my friends.

I have one doubt on the server setup. For my local use i have used MAMP for Apache and MySQL servers. Finally i open the ssl from Terminal used certificate.pem and key.pem. Is there any way to open ssl from php script. But, i don't know any single script of php because i am ios developer. Sorry for this.

Yesterday i have used below commands in my Terminal to open ssl and connect to APNS,

unknownc42c032e8297:~ gopi$ /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/php /Users/gopi/Desktop/PushChatServer/push/push.php development
 unknownc42c032e8297:~ gopi$ cd /Users/creagx/Desktop/PushChatServer/push
 unknownc42c032e8297:push gopi$ telnet gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com 2195

Is there any way to openssl from our php file? It is possible or Terminal usage is better and is the only way for this? Can anyone please help me on this? Thanks in advance.
