note 21030 added to function.openssl-pkcs7-encrypt

The example code is wrong (at least as of 4.2.0). The recipcerts parameter is either the actual text of the base64 encoded key file, or it must be a filename in "file://..." format. A normal path will not work (OpenSSL tries to use the path as the actual certificate). The above code works as: // the message you want to encrypt and send to your secret agent // in the field, known as nighthawk. You have his certificate // in the file nighthawk.pem $data = <<<EOD Nighthawk, Top secret, for your eyes only! The enemy is closing in! Meet me at the cafe at 8.30am to collect your forged passport! HQ EOD; // load key $key = implode("", file("my.pem")); // save message to file $fp = fopen("msg.txt", "w"); fwrite($fp, $data); fclose($fp); // encrypt it if (openssl_pkcs7_encrypt("msg.txt", "enc.txt", $key, array("To" => "msisolak@gvpi.com", // keyed syntax "From: HQ <hq@cia.com>", // indexed syntax "Subject" => "Eyes only"))) { // message encrypted - send it! exec(ini_get("sendmail_path") . " < enc.txt"); } [You can also pass an array of recipcerts values, but I haven't used that so I don't know what it's expecting.] -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-pkcs7-encrypt.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+21030 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+21030 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+21030
