note 52602 added to function.popen

LinixDude010's srcipt did not work for me. Seems wrong to read and write with popen, according to the manual. The script produced pgp text, but there was something wrong with the text and I could not decode it. This replacement script, using proc_open, which can read and write, DOES work: <?php function pgp_encrypt($keyring_location, $public_key_id, $plain_text) { $encrypted_text=''; $key_id = EscapeShellArg($public_key_id); putenv("PGPPATH=$keyring_location"); // encrypt the message $descriptorspec = array( 0 => array("pipe", "r"), // stdin 1 => array("pipe", "w"), // stdout 2 => array("pipe", "w") // stderr ?? instead of a file ); $process = proc_open("pgpe -r $key_id -af", $descriptorspec, $pipes); if (is_resource($process)) { fwrite($pipes[0], $plain_text); fclose($pipes[0]); while($s= fgets($pipes[1], 1024)) { // read from the pipe $encrypted_text .= $s; } fclose($pipes[1]); // optional: while($s= fgets($pipes[2], 1024)) { $encrypted_text.= "\n<p>Error: $s</p>\n"; } fclose($pipes[2]); } return $encrypted_text; } $message = pgp_encrypt("/home/username/.pgp", "to@domain.com", "dummy text to be encrypted"); print nl2br($message); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.popen.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+52602 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52602&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52602&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52602&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52602&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+52602&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+52602&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
