Cannot encrypt/decrypt zip-Files correctly (Andreas)

[akorthaus@web.de]

Hallo!

Does someone now, what I have to do, if my  pgp is run by the webserver and
has no home-directory, no keyrings, no keys, if I just want to get the
following script running:

% That creates the file 'data.gpg', which I can decrypt an my PC. On PHP
this should look something like this:
% <?
% system( "gzip -c file.htm | gpg -o
/path/to/file/data.gpg -e --default-recipient andreas");
% ?>
If I only compress a file with gzip, there is no problem, for example:

<?
system( "gzip -c file.htm > file.sql");
?>

this works, but pgp doesnīt and I donīt know why. The same code in SHELL
works perfectly ?!?!

But how can I get this information into my code? Does someone know what to
do?
