Doc #80715 [Opn]: Incorrect documentation for certificate and private_key in openssl_cms_sign()

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80715&edit=1 ID: 80715 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: nyuszika7h at gmail dot com Summary: Incorrect documentation for certificate and private_key in openssl_cms_sign() Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: OpenSSL related Operating System: Debian 10 PHP Version: 8.0.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: That part of the documentation has been copied almost verbatim from the respective RFC[1]. Is the RFC in error, or has that been changed after the RFC had been accepted? Anyhow, a PR[2] fixing this would be welcome.

This is incorrect and results in "PHP message: PHP Warning: openssl_cms_sign(): Error getting private key in file.php". It actually has to be formatted per <https://www.php.net/manual/en/openssl.certparams.php>, so for example file://cert.pem. Test script: --------------- // Incorrect code (following documentation) openssl_cms_sign('input.txt', 'output.txt', 'cert.pem', 'privkey.pem', null, OPENSSL_CMS_BINARY, OPENSSL_ENCODING_DER, 'chain.pem'); // Correct code openssl_cms_sign('input.txt', 'output.txt', 'file://cert.pem', 'file://privkey.pem', null, OPENSSL_CMS_BINARY, OPENSSL_ENCODING_DER, 'chain.pem'); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80715&edit=1
