Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\Cert;
use Chilkat2\Pdf;
use Chilkat2\PrivateKey;

// First load the .cer file.
// The certificate file (.cer) contains only the certificate (does not include the private key)
$cert = new Cert();
try {
    $cert->LoadFromFile('qa_data/certs_and_keys/makecert/mycertificate.cer');

    // Next, load the .pvk file.
    // Note: The password "secret" is what you entered when makecert displayed the dialog asking for a password..
    $privKey = new PrivateKey();
    $privKey->LoadPvkFile('qa_data/certs_and_keys/makecert/mycertificate.pvk', 'secret');

    // Finally, associate the private key with the certificate.
    $cert->SetPrivateKey($privKey);
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// At this point, the certificate can be used for signing.  For example..
$pdf = new Pdf();

// ....
// ....

$pdf->SetSigningCert($cert);

// ...
// ....

// Some Chilkat classes also provide a method where the cert and private key can be passed separately.
// For example, if SetSigningCert2 is called, then we don't need to explicitly associate the private key with the cert.
$pdf->SetSigningCert2($cert, $privKey);

// ...
