Having "_read()" in the function name implied to me that this function actually reads the file, which I believe is consistent with other PHP functions containing "_read()". I got caught troubleshooting this function for a white until googling and finding other developers with the same issue. Indeed, openssl_pkcs12_read() doesn't actually read the file, but must be provided with the contents of the key file as the first parameter. I was attempting to use it like this: openssl_pkcs12_read('/path/to/cert.p12', $certs, 'mypassphrase'); But it actually expected this: $cert = file_get_contents('/path/to/cert.p12'); openssl_pkcs12_read($cert, $certs, 'mypassphrase'); On the documentation page (http://php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-pkcs12-read.php), the first parameter is lacking any notes. While it does specify type String, it's not clear that it was not expecting a string path to the certificate file. It would have saved me some time if this was explained. Thanks for reading! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69855&edit=1
