GNUPG & PHP Issue....

[dinooz]

Trying to execute gnupg with PHP: <br>
<pre>
<?
$pgp ="/usr/bin/gpg";
$user ="Bernardino Lopez<[e-mail]>";
$recp ="Bernardino Lopez<[e-mail]>";
$data ="Text that will be encrypted 1234567890-0987654321";
$user ="Bernardino Lopez";
$recp ="Bernardino Lopez";

$command = "gpg --help ";
#$command = "gpg --list-keys ";

$go = shell_exec($command);

function dino($command="ls -l"){
echo"<textarea cols=65 rows=15 wrap=OFF>";
$go = shell_exec($command);
$go = shell_exec($command);
echo "$go";
echo "</textarea>";
}

dino($command);

echo "<br> command: <b>$command </b> <br>";
if ($go) {
echo "YES <br>";
} else {
echo "NO <br>";
}
</pre><br>
Whe I use this code I have the properly result, but when I try to list the keys or encrypt seems to me like I have nothing or just get the latest line of the result.

<br>
Some ideas ???

Hi there

I'm having huge difficulties (and I suppose some mental exercise!) with GnuPG and PHP.

As for the problem of listing keys etc, I've got that cracked. The text area works well, but I stumbled across the &lt;pre&gt; tag. Simply echo these tags around your request, and the text is nicely formated:

echo("<pre>");
$comm=system("/usr/local/bin/gpg --list-keys");
echo("</pre>");

I've got gpg importing keys, listing keys, displaying its help file... everything EXCEPT encrypting!

Two possible solutions I've seen are:

1) setting user id of the .gnupg directory (the one with your keys and options in) to nobody. This is apparently due to the fact that apache runs as 'nobody', whereas the .gnupg directory group is 'user'. By changing the group to 'nobody, it apparently works.

2)Using suExec. This involves running php as a cgi, and allows a 'wrapper' which will allow www users to have access to certain user directories. I'm not so keen on this one, though.

As it's 2 am in the morning, I can't get my host to fiddle with the server right now.

But has anyone any ideas? Have they managed to get it to work with encryption, if so, HOW?!!

Best regards

Paul

That code should have been:

echo("&lt;pre&gt;");

$comm=system("/usr/local/bin/gpg --list-keys");

echo("&lt;/pre&gt;");
