Cant get GPG to encrypt via system() function

[marky2coats]

Hi all,

When I try to encrypt a file using gpg 1.2.0 (Linux) and php's system function nothing happens. I have logged in using the httpd's username and run the command from the command line and it all works fine.

heres the command im executing:

/usr/bin/gpg -a -r [e-mail] -e /home/sites/18f2c5486c98d0b22f97b897b9b255f8.txt

The return code i get from system() is 2. What does that mean?

Thanks in advance

Mark.

Hi,

After hours of Googling i found that i needed:

putenv("GNUPGHOME=/var/www/.gnupg");

which tells gpg where the keyring is for the user making the encryption (in my case apache).
