LI. gnupg Functions

Introduction

This module allows you to interact with gnupg.

Warning

This extension is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this extension -- including the names of its functions and anything else documented about this extension -- may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this extension at your own risk.

Requirements

The gnupg extension requires PHP 4.3. To use this extension in an OO style, PHP 5 is required.

This extension requires the gpgme library

Installation

The gnupg-extension is not bundled with PHP. It is a PECL extension and can be located here: http://pecl.php.net/package/gnupg.

Predefined Constants

GNUPG_SIG_MODE_NORMAL (integer)

GNUPG_SIG_MODE_DETACH (integer)

GNUPG_SIG_MODE_CLEAR (integer)

GNUPG_VALIDITY_UNKNOWN (integer)

GNUPG_VALIDITY_UNDEFINED (integer)

GNUPG_VALIDITY_NEVER (integer)

GNUPG_VALIDITY_MARGINAL (integer)

GNUPG_VALIDITY_FULL (integer)

GNUPG_VALIDITY_ULTIMATE (integer)

GNUPG_PROTOCOL_OpenPGP (integer)

GNUPG_PROTOCOL_CMS (integer)

GNUPG_SIGSUM_VALID (integer)

GNUPG_SIGSUM_GREEN (integer)

GNUPG_SIGSUM_RED (integer)

GNUPG_SIGSUM_KEY_REVOKED (integer)

GNUPG_SIGSUM_KEY_EXPIRED (integer)

GNUPG_SIGSUM_KEY_MISSING (integer)

GNUPG_SIGSUM_SIG_EXPIRED (integer)

GNUPG_SIGSUM_CRL_MISSING (integer)

GNUPG_ERROR_EXCEPTION (integer)

GNUPG_ERROR_SILENT (integer)

Notes

This extension makes use of the keyring of the current user. This keyring is normally located in ~./.gnupg/. To specify a custom location, store the path to the keyring in the environment variable GNUPGHOME. See putenv for more information how to do this.

Some functions require the specification of a key. This specification can be anything that refers to an unique key (userid, key-id, fingerprint, ...). This documentation uses the fingerprint in all examples.

keylistiterator

This extension also comes with an Iterator for your keyring.
<?php
// create a new iterator for listing all public keys that matches 'example'
$iterator = new gnupg_keylistiterator("example");
foreach($iterator as $fingerprint => $userid){
    echo $fingerprint." -> ".$userid."\n";
}
?>

Examples

This example will clearsign a given text.

Example 1. gnupg clearsign example (procedural)

<?php
// init gnupg
$res = gnupg_init();
// not really needed. Clearsign is default
gnupg_setsignmode($res,GNUPG_SIG_MODE_CLEAR);
// add key with passphrase 'test' for signing
gnupg_addsignkey($res,"8660281B6051D071D94B5B230549F9DC851566DC","test");
// sign
$signed = gnupg_sign("just a test");
echo $signed;
?>

Example 2. gnupg clearsign example (OO)

<?php
// new class
$gnupg = new gnupg();
// not really needed. Clearsign is default
$gnupg->setsignmode(gnupg::SIG_MODE_CLEAR);
// add key with passphrase 'test' for signing
$gnupg->addsignkey("8660281B6051D071D94B5B230549F9DC851566DC","test");
// sign
$signed = $gnupg->sign("just a test");
echo $signed;
?>
