Despite the last few comments, the documentation is still in error (see the first comment from wez). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-07-01 14:52:49] lynch@php.net Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.openssl-pkey-new#refsect1-function.openssl-pkey-new-description --- The resulting resource cannot be used with openssl_pkey_get_public as stated. At least not always. Maybe that statement is only valid for some inputs for the config? If so, clarification is needed, preferably identifying the sorts of keys where the statement is applicable. See also: 25614 from 2009...
