A note about the openssl_verify() (and some of the other functions). The public key comes from a certificate in any of the support formats (as the example shows, use openssl_get_publickey() to get the resource id). But after some trial and error I found the signature string MUST BE BINARY. While no error occurs, passing a base64-formatted signature string (PEM format?), you simply get a mismatch. When I did the base64 decode myself, the verify returned a match (return value 1). You can simply drop the begin/end lines and take the output of the 'base64_decode()' function. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-verify.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+21889 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+21889 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+21889
