Description:
------------
On http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.openssl-x509-checkpurpose.php the purpose 
check X509_PURPOSE_ANY is mentioned and the constant is defined as well.
openssl_x509_checkpurpose() however reports "error:0B086079:x509 certificate 
routines:X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit:unknown purpose id".
Checking up in the documentation i can see that this purpose is not supported 
(http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/verify.html#COMMAND_OPTIONS). This constant 
should be removed, and a note should be put in the documentation, specifying that 
this is not supported.

Test script:
---------------
openssl_x509_checkpurpose( mixed $x509cert , X509_PURPOSE_ANY );
while($error = openssl_error_string()) echo $error."\n";

Expected result:
----------------
With a valid certificate openssl_x509_checkpurpose($cert, X509_PURPOSE_ANY) 
returns true.

Actual result:
--------------
With a valid certificate openssl_x509_checkpurpose($cert, X509_PURPOSE_ANY) 
returns false.

I just found out that the "any" purpose IS actually supported, but it is simply 
not documented. It seems the constant is somehow referring to a wrong value.

and from the x509v3.h:
#define X509_PURPOSE_ANY     7

What do you mean then?

The constant is not the problem.
Somehow int(7) causes an error with the openssl api. It says that this purpose id 
is not known.
