Shows how to replace the deprecated VerifyString method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.) PHP Extension

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$crypt = new CkCrypt2();

// Specifies how the original data bytes are converted to characters
$crypt->put_Charset('utf-8');

$originalText = 'this is the string that was signed.';
$sigPath = 'c:/someDir/example.p7s';

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The OpaqueVerifyString method is deprecated:

$detachedSigBytes = new CkByteData();
$detachedSigBytes->loadFile($sigPath);

$verified = $crypt->VerifyString($originalText,$detachedSigBytes);

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Workaround.
// (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

$bdSig = new CkBinData();
$bdSig->LoadFile($sigPath);

$encoding = 'base64';
$crypt->put_EncodingMode($encoding);
$verified = $crypt->VerifyStringENC($originalText,$bdSig->getEncoded($encoding));
