Description:
------------
Hi,

I have a problem with the PECL gnupg extension 1.3.1 that might be a bug. When I try to encrypt or sign a string with gnupg_encrypt or gnupg_sign and try to produce an output of the signed or encrypted string, the output is empty. I tested it with the code given below and with some of my own code. This code is the original code that can be found in the manual. I get this behaviour with PHP 4.4.7, 5.2.3 and 6.0.0dev on Apache 2.2.3 on Debian Lenny (so, please ignore the version selection above as my PHP versions are not listed there).  PHP 4.4.7 is compiled as a module, 5.2.3 and 6.0.0dev are CGIs. The Apache errorlog and the accesslog don't shown any error. The script doesn't crash like in Bug #10840;. When I add an additional line like echo 'hello';, hello is given as output. gnupg is installed and works fine, the extension is shown in phpinfo(); for all versions mentioned above. The environment GNUPGHOME is set properly.

Kind regards,

Alexander Schestag

Reproduce code:
---------------
Encryption:
<?php
$res = gnupg_init();
gnupg_addencryptkey($res,"8660281B6051D071D94B5B230549F9DC851566DC");
$enc = gnupg_encrypt($res, "just a test");
echo $enc;
?>

Signing:
<?php
$res = gnupg_init();
gnupg_addsignkey($res,"8660281B6051D071D94B5B230549F9DC851566DC","test");
$signed = gnupg_sign($res, "just a test");
echo $signed;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
I expect echo $enc; to give me the encrypted/signed string as output.

Actual result:
--------------
echo $enc; gives just an empty string as output.

What is your gnupg-version?
Does it work, if you use the extension in OO-Style instead of procedural?
 [2007-06-20 05:39 UTC] alex at schestag dot info 
The gnupg version is 1.4.6. The problem also appears using the OO style example in the manual. The behaviour is the same.
 [2007-06-20 07:54 UTC] traufeisen@php.net 
Please switch the errormode to at least GNUPG_ERROR_WARNING with
gnupg_seterrormode($res,GNUPG_ERROR_WARNING);
and set error_reporting to E_ALL
Ensure that display_errors is active.
You should get some kind of an errormessage.
 [2007-06-20 09:53 UTC] alex at schestag dot info 
The result of this is:

Warning: gnupg_addencryptkey() [function.gnupg-addencryptkey]: get_key failed in...

Warning: gnupg_encrypt() [function.gnupg-encrypt]: no key for encryption set in...

Yes, this looks as if I made a mistake, but:

- I additionally set GNUPGHOME to the propper directory
- The directory has the propper rights (rwxrw-rw-)
- The pubring.pgp has the propper rights (rw-r--r--)
- The key is in my pubring.gpg
 [2007-06-20 09:56 UTC] alex at schestag dot info 
Sorry, the rights of the directory are rwx-r-xr-x

addencryptkey fails. Are you sure, you?re specifying the correct public key?
 [2007-06-27 08:18 UTC] alex at schestag dot info 
Hi,

yes I am sure and I have tested this once again a few minutes ago with the original key and the fingerprint of this key. Using the fingerprin also fails.
 [2007-07-05 15:14 UTC] traufeisen@php.net 
In this case I need something reproduceable.

I'm seeing this exact same issue as well with Debian and PHP 5.2.0 on Apache 2.2.3.  Permissions have been set correctly on the .gnupg directory.  The same thing happens without running the putenv function.

Reproduce code:
---------------------
<?php
putenv("GNUPGHOME=/home/apacheuser/.gnupg/");
$res = gnupg_init();
gnupg_seterrormode($res,GNUPG_ERROR_WARNING);
gnupg_addencryptkey($res,"8660281B6051D071D94B5B230549F9DC851566DC");
$enc = gnupg_encrypt($res, "just a test");
echo "'$enc'";
?>


Expected result:
---------------------
'encrypted result'


Actual result:
---------------------
Warning: gnupg_addencryptkey() [function.gnupg-addencryptkey]: get_key failed in /var/www/site/public_html/index.php on line 5

Warning: gnupg_encrypt() [function.gnupg-encrypt]: no key for encryption set in /var/www/site/public_html/index.php on line 6

We fixed it by regenerating the gnupg fingerprint, the test code on php.net was using the some other encrypt key that our fingerprint didn't match and we didn't think to change it until now.

Hi

The problem is solved. It was a very strange problem with the rights of the .gnup directory. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have the same problem, but only in mod_php.
Running that in cli mode (under the same account as apache) returns no error, just encrypts OK.

What can be the difference between mod_php and cli from the point of view of gnupg extension?
