// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// via List Readers or Find Smart Cards

// If we are successful, the name of the currently inserted smart card is available:
$cardName = $scmd->CardName;
echo 'Card name: ', $cardName, "\n";

// Also, the ATR of the inserted card is available (you will likely not need the ATR).
echo 'ATR: ', $scmd->Atr, "\n";

// Also, the maximum number of key containers is readily available:
echo 'Max number of key containers = ', $scmd->MaxContainers, "\n";

// Delete the context when finished with the card.
try {
    $scmd->DeleteContext();
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {

// Sample output:

// Card name: IDPrime MD T=0
// ATR: 3B7F96000080318065B0855956FB120FFE829000
// Max number of key containers = 20
