New for dev/CVS versions of PHP is support for S/MIME email
signing/verification and encryption/decryption. Also, it is now possible
to specify keys/certs in a vareity of ways that should help make your PHP
code easier to write.
These features will most likely make it into PHP 4.0.6.
<emphasis>Please keep in mind that this extension is still considered
experimental!</emphasis>

OpenSSL offers many features that this module currently doesn't support.
Some of these may be added in the future.

Quite a few of the openssl functions require a key or a certificate
parameter. PHP 4.0.5 and earlier have to use a key or certificate resource
returned by one of the openssl_get_xxx functions. Later versions may use
one of the following methods:

When calling a function that will verify a signature/certificate, the
<emphasis>cainfo</emphasis> parameter is an array containing file and
directory names the specify the locations of trusted CA files. If a
directory is specified, then it must be a correctly formed hashed directory
as the <command>openssl</command> command would use.

<row>
<entry>PKCS7_TEXT</entry>
<entry>adds text/plain content type headers to encrypted/signed
message. If decrypting or verifying, it strips those headers from
the output - if the decrypted or verified message is not of MIME type
text/plain then an error will occur.</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_BINARY</entry>
<entry>normally the input message is converted to "canonical" format
which is effectlively using CR and LF as end of line: as required by
the S/MIME specification. When this options is present, no
translation occurs. This is useful when handling binary data which
may not be in MIME format.</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_NOINTERN</entry>
<entry>when verifying a message, certificates (if
any) included in the message are normally searched for the
signing certificate. With this option only the
certificates specified in the <parameter>extracerts</parameter>
parameter of <function>openssl_pkcs7_verify</function> are
used. The supplied certificates can still be used as
untrusted CAs however.
</entry>

<entry>PKCS7_NOVERIFY</entry>
<entry>do not verify the signers certificate of a signed
message.</entry>

don't use the certificates in the signed message as untrusted CAs.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_NOCERTS</entry>
<entry>when signing a message the signer's certificate is normally
included - with this option it is excluded. This will reduce the
size of the signed message but the verifier must have a copy of the
signers certificate available locally (passed using the
<parameter>extracerts</parameter> to
<function>openssl_pkcs7_verify</function> for example.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_NOATTR</entry>
<entry>normally when a message is signed, a set of attributes are
included which include the signing time and the supported symmetric
algorithms. With this option they are not included.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>PKCS7_DETACHED</entry>
<entry>When signing a message, use cleartext signing with the MIME
type multipart/signed. This is the default if the
<parameter>flags</parameter> parameter to
<function>openssl_pkcs7_sign</function> if you do not specify any
flags. If you turn this option off, the message will be signed using
opaque signing, which is more resistant to translation by mail relays
