Sorry, for lack of subject in my previous post...

I know little about writing php scripts.  I have one that is supposed 
to encrypt form data and direct the result to an email address 
specified in the script.

The script uses the servers keyring.  The server folks ask me to 
retrieve the public key to do the encryption from a keyserver.  So how 
do I modify the script to query the keyserver for my public key to do 
the encryption?

Two command lines within the script address identifying the user in the 
keyring and encrypting the form data.  These I believe are the commands 
I need to modify for the script to retrieve my public key from the 
keyserver:

//Tell gnupg where the key ring is. Home dir of user web server is 
running as.
putenv("GNUPGHOME=/var/www/.gnupg");

I don't know whether this first command needs to be modified or simply 
omitted from the script.  The second command appears to lookup the 
public key and encrypt the file, which is where I need to have the 
script look from the keyserver instead of the server's keyring:

//set up the gnupg command. Note: Remember to put E-mail address on the 
gpg keyring.
$command = "/usr/bin/gpg -a --recipient 'Mini Me <me@here.com>' \\
--encrypt -o $outfile $infile";

//execute the gnupg command
system($command, $result);

Anyone have a hint how to make this script work by retrieving my public 
key from the keyserver?

Thanks in advance
