(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5)openssl_x509_parse -- Parse an X509 certificate and return the information as an

array

Description

array openssl_x509_parse (mixed x509cert [, bool shortnames])

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.
