[PHP] Re: Decrypting data with GnuPG

[Pierre-Luc Soucy]

Just for the record, adding the --batch argument to the GnuPG command 
solved the problem.

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!
