ITU-T X.509 is a certificate standard and it is not a certificate repository standard. So, I didn't understand how PGP is able to use X.509? It may be correct that PGP uses LDAP repositories for storage/retrieval but X.509 integration is an unknown for me. Does anyone have any further info about PHP and X.509 integration? cheers. -- Burak DAYIOGLU Phone: +90 312 2103379 Fax: +90 312 2103333 http://www.dayioglu.net ICQ UIN: 72276975
