    <function>openssl_x509_parse</function> returns information about the
    supplied <parameter>x509cert</parameter>, including fields such as subject
    name, issuer name, purposes, valid from and valid to dates etc.
    <parameter>shortnames</parameter> controls how the data is indexed in the
    array - if <parameter>shortnames</parameter> is &true; (the default) then
    fields will be indexed with the short name form, otherwise, the long name
    form will be used - e.g.: CN is the shortname form of commonName.
