Hi,

if I feed a certificate to openssl_x509_parse($smimepublickey), the
returned array contains
....
[purposes] => Array
...
[4] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] =>
[2] => smimesign
)
....

but when I feed the same cert to

openssl_x509_checkpurpose($smimepublickey, X509_PURPOSE_SMIME_SIGN) I
get "0" ("false") as return value. These two results contradict each
other, so either this is a bug in PHP or I overlooked an important
detail. Can anyone comment?




Here is the code to reproduce the error:

<?php
$smimepublickey=<<<END
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
GIICnzCCAgigAwIBAgIDDraxMA1GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAMGIxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlpD
....
AQET
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
END;

echo("<pre>\n");
print_r(openssl_x509_parse($smimepublickey));
echo("</pre>\n");
print(openssl_x509_checkpurpose($smimepublickey, X509_PURPOSE_SMIME_SIGN));
?>

Christian
