ive tried using popen using bidirectional pipes without working for obvious reasons, but i managed to create a simple script that managed to take care of the problem. This example is for gpg encryption. <?php $message = "this is the text to encrypt with gpg"; $sendto = 'Dummy Key <another@fake.email>'; system("mkfifo pipein"); system("mkfifo pipeout"); system("gpg --encrypt -a -r '$sendto' > pipeout < pipein &"); $fo = fopen("pipeout", "r"); $fi = fopen("pipein", "w"); fwrite($fi, $message, strlen($message)); fclose($fi); while (!feof($fo)) { $buf .= fread($fo, 1024); } echo $buf; unlink("pipein"); unlink("pipeout"); ?> If anyone has a better way of doing this I would love to see it. --was-- ive tried using popen using bidirectional pipes without working for obvious reasons, but i managed to create a simple script that managed to take care of the problem.
