In PHP 4.3.1 the use of OpenSSL fails when the private key comes from a string instead of a file. The test case for openssl fails, too.

To reproduce the bug, simply run the "make test" on a current build FreeBSD system. I don't know about others, but I assume either an incompatibility with OpenSSL 0.9.7a (because the d2i_PrivateKey method used by the php wrapper seems to have a problem).

Using the OpenSSL commandline tools I can use my private/public keys to sign and verify files. Because I don't know much about OpenSSL I cannot verify the reason of the failure. The occurance seems somewhere around line 1747 in file ext/openssl/openssl.c

If the script in the test case isn't enough (what it should), I can attach an own one.

Kind Regards,
Jens

The patch looks good. I'll try to build in in next few days and reply whether it works as expected or not. Did the tests run fine?

The openssl tests do not fail for me at least, but I tested 
this on Linux. (using openSSL 0.9.7a) 

So please give it a go on FreeBSD, it should work now.

What I have forgotten. I have replaced the source of PHP-4.3.2RC1 with the stable sources you've recommented. So this is not the error in RC1 (where is it, too) but in yesterdays(?) stable.

DO NOT ADD SUCH LONG PARTS OF TEXT IN HERE!!!!!!

I deleted that comment. Please attach MAXIMUM of 15-20 lines. And preferrably text that actually includes the ERROR
you get.

Except those warnings openssl works fine

Just ignore those warnings.
 [2003-03-22 20:03 UTC] php-bugs at liwing dot de 
You should never ignore such warnings. They can became critical one fine day. If you want, I send you a patch, but I don't think 'ignore' is a good way :-(
