setup GnuGP

[kid85]

I need to encrypt the body of my emails using PHP and later read those emails with Novell Evolution. Unfortunately, I see that GNUPG etc are a little messy to implement. Is there some other simpler alternative that works with Evolution ?

I'm trying to setup GnuGP aka GPG but can't make it work. Where can I find path to gpg ??

 

I got part of this code from:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-php-encrypt/

 

	//set up users
$from = "myemail";
$to = "myemail";

//$gpg_path = '/usr/bin/gpg';
$gpg_path = '/usr/bin/gpg';
$home_dir = '/home/myusername';

$cmd = "echo $message | HOME=$home_dir $gpg_path" .
	"--quiet --no-secmem-warning --encrypt --sign --armor " .
	"--recipient $to --local-user $from";

$message = `$cmd`;

mail($to,'Message from Web Form', $message,"From: $from\n");

use the shell command "which"...

 

which gpg

 

It will tell you where in your path the gpg command is located at.  If it returns as not found, then make sure it's installed.  If it's not in a common location (/usr, /usr/local, /usr/sfw, /opt, etc...) then you may have to use the find command (IF you are sure that gpg is installed)

Anybody know what this ` does?

$message = `$cmd`;
