(PHP Extension) Verify HMAC XML Digital Signature

Demonstrates how to validate an XML digital signature signed with an HMAC key.

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.

// The XML containing the Signature to be verified contains the following:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
// <collection Id="root">
