Doc #65186 [NEW]: openssl_csr_new allows creation from text

From: lynch@php.net Operating system: N/A PHP version: Irrelevant Package: OpenSSL related Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:openssl_csr_new allows creation from text Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.openssl-csr-new#refsect1-function.openssl-csr-new-parameters --- It is not documented that: $csr_resource = openssl_csr_new(array(), file_get_contents('some.csr')); will return a valid CSR resource. Test script: --------------- //Load your private key $private_key_resource = openssl_pkey_get_private(file_get_contents('private.pem')); //Extract the public key $details = openssl_pkey_get_details($private_key_resource); $public_key_text = $details['key']; //Load the text CSR file $csr_text = file_get_contents('request.csr'); // UNDOCUMENTED FEATURE $csr_resource = openssl_csr_new(array(), $csr_text); $csr_public_key_resource = openssl_csr_get_public_key($csr_resource); $csr_public_key_details = openssl_pkey_get_details($csr_public_key_resource); $csr_public_key_text = $csr_public_key_details['key']; //Prove that the CSR is valid, assuming you built it right in the first place if ($public_key_text != $csr_public_key_text) { echo "The public key doesn't match, so that's not a good CSR.\n"; } else { echo "Yay! There IS a way to create a CSR resource from text. It's just not documented.\n"; } Expected result: ---------------- Going strictly by the docs, some kind of error message about wrong type for the CSR, since text is in no way similar to a CSR private key resource. Actual result: -------------- It works, thank goodness. Because if it didn't, there is no way to convert a CSR text file to a CSR resource. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65186&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=65186&r=mysqlcfg
