I’ve already made a web site using PHP, but now I would like to make it accessible via https. Once I buy and configure the certificate, does the code itself need any changes? Or is all the encrypting and decrypting done by the web server and web browser automatically?

By default, web pages accessed using the https protocol communicate over a different port (usually 443) than the typical http port (80). Once you have your certificate, you’ll need to register it with your web server, which will in turn begin to allow it to accept connections over https. If you have a half decent web server, you shouldn’t need anything else.
You can read up on it at Wikipedia:
