<?php

$success = 0;

// Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or later.

// Load a PEM file into memory.
$sbPem = new COM("Chilkat.StringBuilder");
$success = $sbPem->LoadFile('qa_data/pem/ecc_privKey.pem','utf-8');
if ($success != 1) {
    print 'Failed to load PEM file.' . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Load the PEM into a private key object.
$privKey = new COM("Chilkat.PrivateKey");
$success = $privKey->LoadPem($sbPem->getAsString());
if ($success != 1) {
    print $privKey->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Get the private key in JWK format:
$jwk = $privKey->getJwk();

// The GetJwk method will return the JWK in the most compact JSON format possible,
// as a single line with no extra whitespace.  To get a more human-readable JWK (for this example),
// load into a Chilkat JSON object and emit non-compact:

$json = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$json->Load($jwk);
$json->EmitCompact = 0;
print 'ECC Private Key in JWK format:' . "\n";
print $json->emit() . "\n";

// Sample output:
// { 
//   "kty": "EC",
//   "crv": "P-256",
//   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
//   "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
//   "d": "EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM"
// }
// 

// Additional information can be added like this:
$json->AppendString('use','enc');
$json->AppendString('kid','123ABC');

// Now examine the JSON:
print $json->emit() . "\n";

// { 
//   "kty": "EC",
//   "crv": "P-256",
//   "x": "oBUyo8CQAFPeYPvv78ylh5MwFZjTCLQeb042TjiMJxE",
//   "y": "vvQyxZkUjJQUPU_0bCy3Pj5qQdfu8jwEfqEeYGZ95CU",
//   "d": "EbVzfPnZPxfAyxqEZV05laAoJAl-_6Xt2O4mOB611sM",
//   "use": "enc",
//   "kid": "123ABC"
// }
