According to <http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gnupg-verify.php>:

| Verifies the given signed_text and returns information about the
| signature.
| ...
| On success, this function returns information about the signature. On
| failure, this function returns FALSE.

So for basic verification it should suffice to check that the return
value !== false.
