php encryption

[Chris Mason]

I'm still having problems getting this to work, even with the excellent
suggestions I have recieved from list members.
To take it down to baseics I hard coded everything.
Apache is running as apache, and I su'ed to apache and ran gpg -gen-key.
Then I imported the key username <user@user.com> tp the apache keyring and
signed it, and trusted it ""I trust fully".

The command I am using is
system("/usr/bin/gpg --encrypt --batch -ao 'test.gpg' -r 'username
<user@user.com>' 'test.txt' ");
If I su to apache and run it form the command line, it works.
When I run the page that calls the command, it doesn't.
If I change the command to:
system("touch test.txt");
the file is created, so I know php has the right permissions to create a
file.
I have checked /var/log/messages and /var/log/httpd/errors for errors, and I
don't see anything.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Subject: php encryption


Hello  to everyone on the list, this is my first Gnupg post.
Has anyone managed to implement an encryption solution from PHP? I got stuck
at the need to pass the passphrase to the process. I tried "echo $pass |
gpgcommand" but it didn;t work.

What I am trying to do is to encrpyt a file (or a variable) from mod_php and
write it back to a file (or a variable). httpd will run as user httpd so I
have to run as gpg as another user, and encrpyt for the end user's public
key.
Any help appreciated.
