Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
I am having some problems using GPG from within PHP. Basicly my situation is this: Our system needs to create a file with customers direct debit details, encrypt them with PGP (GnuPG), then FTP to a remote server for validation and get a success or error message. This has to be done in real time so the DB is set up as the order is accepted.<br />
<br />
What is the best way to encrypt the data? I am trying to use shell_exec using the following command:<br />
<br />
(see code snippet)<br />
<br />
This just doesnt work at all. No output, nothing echo'd out, etc. PHP Safe mode is off. The files are readable/writable.<br />
<br />
When I run the exact same command from SSH logged in as a regular user, it creates the gpg file just fine.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help?<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-6966">echo shell_exec(&quot;/usr/bin/gpg -e --homedir {home_dir} -r 0xDAC60875 -o {path_to_output} {path_to_original_data}&quot;);
</code></pre>

GPG Encryption within PHP

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
