Demonstrates how to verify an RSA signature of a SHA256 hash. PHP Extension

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

// Let's say you have a file containing the 32-bytes of a SHA256 hash,
// and a file that is an RSA signature of those 32 bytes.
// Here's how you verify using the RSA public key found in a PEM.

// Get the public key.
$success = $rsa->UsePublicKey($pubKey);
if ($success == false) {
    print $rsa->lastErrorText() . "\n";
