Toying with the idea of using X.509 Digital Certificates with PHP for client
authentication. Anyone attempted to do this yet?

First step would be a PHP routine to decode the certificate.
Later would come certificate generation functions.

Operational concept would be something like:

Client delivers its certificate to PHP (have no idea how this would happen)
along with a form field containing a user entered secret which is also
stored in the certificate.

PHP decrypts and decodes the certificate and compares the user entered
secret with the one in the certificate.

A match "grants" access.
