Re: [PHP-DEV] assymetric encryption functions based on OpenSSL From: Andi Gutmans (andi <email protected>)
Date: 11/13/00

In my opinion, the whole issue of where we actually get the info from
should probably be left out and we should pass strings. Read the
certificate into a string before that.
In general (and this isn't always true) the less PHP functions mess with
PHP's fopen-wrappers the better. Also making it use strings is nice because
of databases and other ways of passing data. I would not want the functions
behavior to change according to if it is sent a string or an fp.
Also the x509 stuff can probably be hidden from the end user inside the
other functions.
