I just tried, but that didn't correct the problem - the output.txt file is still not generated:

<?
$command = "/usr/bin/gpg --homedir=/path/to/homedir/.gnupg --no-secmem-warning --passphrase-fd 0 --always-trust --yes --output /path/to/homedir/.gpgkeys/temp/output.txt --decrypt /path/to/homedir/.gpgkeys/temp/testtext.asc";
$passphrase = 'MY_PASSPHRASE'."\n";


$fp = popen($command, 'w+');
fputs($fp, $passphrase);
fputs($fp, $passphrase);
pclose($fp);

print "Done";
exit;
?>

Regards,

Are you appending a newline to your passphrase?

$passphrase = "my gnupg passphrase\n";



On Thursday 29 May 2003 06:56 am, you wrote:

From the GnuPG docs:

--passphrase-fd n

    Read the passphrase from file descriptor n. If you use 0 for n, the
passphrase will be read from stdin. This can only be used if only one
passphrase is supplied. Don't use this option if you can avoid it.

I added --passphrase-fd 0 to my command so the passphrase should
normally be read from stdin (according to the docs), but it still does
not work. Any idea? I am unfortunately not familiar with C code, so I
can difficultly find solutions to my problems by reading the GnuPG source.

Thanks!

GnuPG doesn't use stdin to read the password, which is where you're
sending it. It uses a more low-level interface (check out the below link
if you're interested) where they interact directly with the virtual
console.

Try piping to your command- that won't work either

echo $PASSPHRASE | \
/usr/bin/gpg \
--homedir=/path/to/.gnupg \
--no-secmem-warning \
--always-trust \
--yes \
--output /path/to/output.txt \
--decrypt /path/to/testtext.asc

Hi,

I would like to decrypt data encoded with GnuPG without including the
private key passphrase in the command to prevent people from viewing it
with "ps".

Here is the code I wrote:

====
$command = "/usr/bin/gpg --homedir=/path/to/.gnupg --no-secmem-warning
--always-trust --yes --output /path/to/output.txt --decrypt
/path/to/testtext.asc";
$passphrase = '***********';

$fp = popen($command, 'w+');
fputs($fp, $passphrase);
pclose($fp);

print "Done";
exit;
======

I assumed that the fputs() function would write the passphrase at the
prompt, but that doesn't seem to be the case - the command does not
create the output.txt file when ran by the PHP program (which is running
as a CGI under my user BTW) while it works when ran from the shell.

Any idea why?

Thanks!
