See more PKCS11 Examples

Sample code showing how to open a PKCS11 session and then later close it.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.88 or later.

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.

// Note: Chilkat's PKCS11 implementation runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and other supported operating systems.

$pkcs11 = new CkPkcs11();

// Set your shared lib path -- either a full path to the DLL, .so, or .dylib,
// or just the filename if the driver is in a location that can be automatically found. (Such as in C:\Windows\System32)
$pkcs11->put_SharedLibPath('ShuttleCsp11_3003.dll');

// Starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.96, there is a shorter way to establish
// a PKCS11 session with login.
// The QuickSession method was added in v9.5.0.96 and is the equivalent of 
// calling Initialize, OpenSession, and Login.  

$success = $pkcs11->Initialize();
if ($success == false) {
    print $pkcs11->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Pass -1 for the slotID to open a session on the first non-empty slot.
$slotID = -1;

// Open a read/write session.
$readWrite = true;
$success = $pkcs11->OpenSession($slotID,$readWrite);
if ($success == false) {
    print $pkcs11->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Do whatever is needed...
// ...
// ...

// When finished, close the session.
// It is important to close the session (memory leaks will occur if the session is not properly closed).

$success = $pkcs11->CloseSession();
if ($success == false) {
    print $pkcs11->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'PKCS11 session successfully opened and closed.' . "\n";
