Description:
------------
Some times, openssl_verify does not recognize a valid signature. The same input 
in the openssl command line works ok.

See the case.

You can verify with command line ssh that both signatures are ok:

I have investigated a litle more, and if you do 

$ openssl dgst -sha1 -verify test.pub -signature test_ok.sig test_ok.txt
Verified OK

$openssl dgst -sha1 -verify test.pub -signature test_err.sig test_err.txt
Verification Failure

So it seems that it is an openSSL problem.

Openssl issue (if any), not php.
 [2012-10-24 03:08 UTC] terrafrost@php.net 
It's not an OpenSSL issue either.  Both PHP and OpenSSL are behaving as
they should.

"openssl rsautl -verify" is decrypting test_err.sig and checks to see
if the hash contained within the ciphertextmatches test_err.sha1.
That's not what "openssl dgst" or openssl_verify() do.  They just
verify the hash.  Hash verification is it's own operation in the PKCS#1
standards distinct from decryption.

That the second example yields a match is just dumb luck.
