PHP Manual for

openssl_x509_parse

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6)

openssl_x509_parse -- Parse an X509 certificate and return the information as an array

Description

array openssl_x509_parse ( mixed x509cert [, bool shortnames])

Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL . The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.

openssl_x509_parse() returns information about the supplied x509cert , including fields such as subject name, issuer name, purposes, valid from and valid to dates etc. shortnames controls how the data is indexed in the array - if shortnames 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.

The structure of the returned data is (deliberately) not yet documented, as it is still subject to change.
