Add a Private Key and Certificate Chain to a PFX

See more PFX/P12 Examples

Demonstrates Pfx.AddPrivateKey, which adds a private key together with its certificate chain to the PFX object.

The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. An absolute path may also be used. Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.

<?php

$success = 0;

$pfx = new COM("Chilkat.Pfx");

//  The file path is relative to the application's current working directory.  An absolute path
//  may also be used.  Supply the path appropriate to your own environment.
//  Load the private key.
$privKey = new COM("Chilkat.PrivateKey");
$success = $privKey->LoadPemFile('qa_data/private_key.pem');
if ($success == 0) {
    print $privKey->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Load the certificate and build its chain of authority.  The chain must contain at least one
//  certificate; the certificate at index 0 is treated as the leaf.
$cert = new COM("Chilkat.Cert");
$success = $cert->LoadFromFile('qa_data/cert.pem');
if ($success == 0) {
    print $cert->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

$chain = new COM("Chilkat.CertChain");
$success = $cert->BuildCertChain($chain);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $cert->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Add the private key and its certificate chain to the PFX.
$success = $pfx->AddPrivateKey($privKey,$chain);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $pfx->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'Private key and certificate chain added to the PFX.' . "\n";
