popen and gpg

[frankqc]

Hello,

This really simple function do not works, can you help me please?

$pp = popen("gpg --delete-key $key_id", "w");
fputs($pp, "y\r");
pclose ($pp);

That one works well:

$pp = @popen("gpg --list-keys", "r");
$result = "";
while(!feof($pp)) {
$result .= fread($pp, 1024*8);
flush();
}
pclose($pp);

apache has all the rights to do it.

Thank you in advance!

try to use dull path of gpg. e.g. /usr/bin/gpg

[frankqc]

It's what I'm doing, I just wrote a stripped down code for my question.

what doesit say? whatt error messages can you see?

[frankqc]

There is no error msg, it's simply not deleting the key. Seems my fputs doesn't work... I don't know, I've tried everything!

[mjr]

does thie script finish successfully?

if yes, try a `dumb' program that just otputs you printed from php script to a file... or redirect error mesages to a file
