(PHP Extension) Create PKCS7 Attached/Opaque Signature (S/MIME)

Create an S/MIME message with a PKCS7 attached/opaque signature.

Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

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

$mime = new CkMime();

// Load a certificate w/ private key for signing.
// There are many ways of getting a certificate object:
// from a pfx file, from .cer and private-key files, from the
// Windows registry-based certificate stores, etc.
// Load a PFX file into a certificate object.
$cert = new CkCert();

// Create a very simple MIME message to be signed:

$success = $mime->AddHeaderField('MyCustomHeader','abc123');
$mime->put_ContentType('text/plain');
$mime->SetBody('This is a plain-text body.');

// Examine the MIME prior to signing:
print '--- MIME prior to signing ---' . "\n";
print $mime->getMime() . "\n";

// The MIME prior to signing looks like this:
// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Subject: This is a test
// MyCustomHeader: abc123
// Content-Type: text/plain
// 
// This is a plain-text body.

// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// The default hash algorithm used in the signing process is "SHA1".
// To change it, set the SigningHashAlg property:
$mime->put_SigningHashAlg('SHA256');

// Convert the MIME to PKCS7 signed-data.
$success = $mime->ConvertToSigned($cert);

}

// Examine the signed MIME
print '--- MIME converted to PKCS7 signed-data ---' . "\n";

// The MIME after signing looks like this:
