openssl_verify — Verify signature
Description
int openssl_verify
( string $data
, string $signature
, mixed $pub_key_id
[, int $signature_alg = OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA1
] )
openssl_verify() verifies that the signature is correct for the specified data using the public key associated with pub_key_id. This must be the public key corresponding to the private key used for signing.
Parameters
- data
-
- signature
-
- pub_key_id
-
- signature_alg
-
For more information see the list of Signature Algorithms.
Return Values
Returns 1 if the signature is correct, 0 if it is incorrect, and -1 on error.

Examples
Example #1 openssl_verify() example
<?php
// $data and $signature are assumed to contain the data and the signature
// fetch public key from certificate and ready it
$fp = fopen("/src/openssl-0.9.6/demos/sign/cert.pem", "r");
$cert = fread($fp, 8192);
fclose($fp);
$pubkeyid = openssl_get_publickey($cert);
// state whether signature is okay or not
$ok = openssl_verify($data, $signature, $pubkeyid);
if ($ok == 1) {
echo "good";
} elseif ($ok == 0) {
echo "bad";
} else {
echo "ugly, error checking signature";
}
// free the key from memory
openssl_free_key($pubkeyid);
?>
