Installation
------------
tar xvzf gnupg-x.y.tgz
cd gnupg_x-y
phpize
make
make install

This extension requires the gpgme library, which is available at http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/download/index.html#gpgme


Notes
-----

-	This extension requires PHP 5.
	It was tested with 5.0.5

-	This is a beta version.
	Don´t use it on production systems.
	See this release more like a "preview" or something like that.

-	This extension makes currently no write-operations on your keyring.
	But a backup of them is always a good idea

-	Only the Open_PGP protocol is currently supported.
	This shouldn´t be a problem for the most people.

-	extending this class is currently not tested.

-	only 1 key per operation is currently supported.
	so you can´t add x keys for encryption.

-	Whenever you provide a key to a method, you should make sure, that your given pattern is unique.
	Otherwise it could happen, that the wrong key is selected from the keyring.
	The best would be to provide the fingerprint, whenever needed.

-	The underlying lib checks for the presence of the gpg-agent.
	If a passphrase is required for an operation, this agent is asked first.
	To avoid this, clear the enviroment-variable GPG_AGENT_INFO (see http://de3.php.net/manual/en/function.putenv.php)

-	This extension is class based
	No "global" constants are defined. Only class constants

		SIG_MODE_NORMAL
		SIG_MODE_DETACH
		SIG_MODE_CLEAR

		VALIDITY_UNKNOWN
		VALIDITY_UNDEFINED
		VALIDITY_NEVER
		VALIDITY_MARGINAL
		VALIDITY_FULL
		VALIDITY_ULTIMATE

		PROTOCOL_OpenPGP
		PROTOCOL_CMS
    
		SIGSUM_VALID
		SIGSUM_GREEN
		SIGSUM_RED
		SIGSUM_KEY_REVOKED
		SIGSUM_KEY_EXPIRED
		SIGSUM_SIG_EXPIRED
		SIGSUM_KEY_MISSING
		SIGSUM_CRL_MISSING
		SIGSUM_CRL_TOO_OLD
		SIGSUM_BAD_POLICY
		SIGSUM_SYS_ERROR


Methods
-------

-		__construct()
		sets up a new gnupg object
		( new gnupg() )

-		bool setarmor(int armor)
		turn on/off armor mode
		0 = off
		>0 = on	(default)

-		bool setsignmode(int signmode)
		sets the mode for signing operations
		see the SIG_MODE_* constants
		default is SIG_MODE_CLEAR

-		bool setpassphrase(string passphrase)
		sets the passphrase for all next operations

-		string geterror(void)
		returns the last errormessage

-		int getprotocol(void)
		returns the currently used pgp-protocol.
		atm only PROTOCOL_OpenPGP is supported

-		array keyinfo(string pattern)
		returns an array with informations about all keys, that matches the given pattern

-		bool setsignerkey(string key)
		sets the private key for the next sign operation.
		please note, that the given key must return only 1 result from the keyring
		it should be the best to provide a fingerprint here

-		bool setencryptkey(string key)
		sets the public key for next encrypt operation.
		please note, that the given key must return only 1 result from the keyring
		it should be the best to provide a fingerprint here

-		bool clearsignerkey(void)
		removes all keys which are set for signing

-		bool clearencryptkey(void)
		removes all keys which are set for encryption

-		string sign(string text)
		signs the given test with the key, which was set with setsignerkey before
		and returns the signed text
		the signmode depends on gnupg_setsignmode

-		string encrypt(string text)
		encrypts the given text with the key, which was set with setencryptkey before
		and returns the encrypted text

-		array verify(string text [, string &plaintext])
		verifies the given clearsigned text and returns information about the result in an array
		if plaintext is passed, it is filled with the plaintext (the text without signature)

-		string decrypt(string enctext)
		decrypts the given enctext
