// This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// In this example, the URLs for the DigiCert root CA certs are available at this web page:
// https://www.digicert.com/digicert-root-certificates.htm

// This example downloads the "DigiCert Global Root G3"
// Valid until: 15/Jan/2038
// Serial #: 05:55:56:BC:F2:5E:A4:35:35:C3:A4:0F:D5:AB:45:72

// Examine the common name,serial, and thumbprint:
echo 'CN: ', $cert->SubjectCN, "\n";
echo 'Serial: ', $cert->SerialNumber, "\n";
echo 'Thumbprint: ', $cert->Sha1Thumbprint, "\n";

// Output from the above:
// CN: DigiCert Global Root G3
// Serial: 055556BCF25EA43535C3A40FD5AB4572
// Thumbprint: 7E04DE896A3E666D00E687D33FFAD93BE83D349E

// If desired, the certificate can be saved to a local file so it does not need
// to be downloaded from the website every time.

// To load the cert from a file...

// Do the following to add the cert to the collection of trusted roots
// for this application.  (Note:  The trust is not persisted.  Each time the
// application runs, it should load the cert (from whatever source, whether it is
// a file, a database,etc.) and do the following:
$troots = new TrustedRoots();

$troots->AddCert($cert);
$troots->Activate();

echo $cert->SubjectCN, " is now trusted for this run of this application.\n";
