Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52356&edit=1 ID: 52356 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported by: p dot vanbrouwershaven at networking4all dot com Summary: In memory support for openssl_pkcs7_* -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Feature/Change Request Package: OpenSSL related PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: Thanks, will take care of them asap. Do you have some tests as well, would help to reduce the time to commit :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-16 10:13:51] jille at quis dot cx Attached patch is a proof-of-concept patch. It changes openssl_pkcs7_sign() to use the input filename as a string instead of as a filename. Paul has tested this and it seems to work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-07-16 10:06:33] p dot vanbrouwershaven at networking4all dot com Description: ------------ The PHP functions openssl_pkcs7_(sign|encrypt|decrypt|verify) do require files to be executed. In many cases this will create the unintended requirement of temporary files. In compare with openssl_(sign|encrypt|decrypt|verify|...) which are doing almost the same thing this is a strange behavior. When we look at the purpose of openssl_pkcs7_* (working with digital signatures in mail), you would not expect to work with files instead of strings for this few data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52356&edit=1
