How to decrypt string in php

[David Jourard]

Hi,

I have a gpg encypted string in a data field and I want to be able decrypt
it.

Is there a simple way to do this without writing it to a file on a windows
machine

Here is my code example:


<?php

function DecryptGPG ($string) {

	$gpg = 'c:/locationofgnupg/gpg';
      $passphrase = 'mypassword';
   
	$cmdline = "$gpg --no-secmem-warning --batch --passphrase
$passphrase  --decrypt $string";

	exec ($cmdline,  $stdout, $return);

	$finalstring = $stdout[0];
	
	return $finalstring;
	
}

$finalvalue = DecryptGPG($encryptedstuff);

echo "value=$finalvalue\n";


?>

With this code I get:  Invalid Option "-----BEGIN" which I understand why.
