(PHP ActiveX) Validate Certificate using OCSP Protocol

Demonstrates how to validate a certificate (check the revoked status) using the OCSP protocol.

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.

<?php

// Note: Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.75 or greater.

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

// This example will check the revoked status of a certificate loaded from a file.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Cert')
$cert = new COM("Chilkat.Cert");

// Get the cert's OCSP URL.
$ocspUrl = $cert->OcspUrl;

// Build the JSON that will be the OCSP request.

// Possible hash algorithms are sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512.
