This happens because when you run this from the shell, it's picking up your environment. Apache has a completely different environment. You need to create a dummy keyring for Apache's user in the location this may provide: <?php $effective_user = posix_getpwuid(posix_geteuid()); print 'Apache is: ' . $effective_user['name']; print '<br>Home is: ' . $effective_user['dir']; ?> Or you can use putenv() to make apache temporarily use another $HOME that has the correct keyrings.
