See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates how an application can examine and check a server's SSL/TLS certificate.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Socket')
$socket = new COM("Chilkat.Socket");

// Connect to a server.
$useTls = 1;
$maxWaitMs = 2000;
$success = $socket->Connect('www.intel.com',443,$useTls,$maxWaitMs);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $socket->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// If we get here, the TLS connection ws made..
// In any SSL/TLS handshake, the server sends its certificate in a TLS handshake message.
// Chilkat will keep it cached within the object that made the connection.
// Get the server's cert and examine a few things.
// cert is a Chilkat.Cert
$cert = $socket->GetSslServerCert();
if ($socket->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    // This is unexpected..
    print $socket->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'Distinguished Name: ' . $cert->SubjectDN . "\n";
print 'Common Name: ' . $cert->SubjectCN . "\n";
print 'Issuer Distinguished Name: ' . $cert->IssuerDN . "\n";
print 'Issuer Common Name: ' . $cert->IssuerCN . "\n";

print 'Trusted Root: ' . $cert->TrustedRoot . "\n";

// Sample output:

// Distinguished Name: C=US, ST=California, O=Intel Corporation, CN=*.intel.com
// Common Name: *.intel.com
