I have found a fix for now, although I would like to know if better
options exist. The fault seems to lie in Windows. Both XP and Vista
refuse to allow file descriptors over 2. When I changed the code like so
it worked just fine:
$descriptors = array(
0 => array("pipe", "r"), // STDIN. Used to feed input
1 => array("pipe", "r"), // STDOUT. We are writing to it,
though
2 => array("pipe", "w"), // STDERR. Used to read errors
);
// Build the command line and start the process
$cmd = '"C:/program files/gnu/gnupg/gpg.exe" --batch
--no-verbose --passphrase-fd 1 --output decrypted.zip --decrypt
encrypted.zip.gpg';
$gpg = proc_open( $cmd, $descriptors, $pipes);
if(is_resource($gpg)) {
// Push passphrase to custom pipe
fwrite($pipes[1], $passphrase);
fclose($pipes[1]);
proc_close($gpg);
}
Is there a solution to be able to create more pipes in Windows? It's
very inconvenient having to write to STDOUT just to make my program work
properly, as it prevents me from reading any output thrown out by the
code (other than errors)

Description:
------------
Unfortunately as far as I can tell, I am the only person having this
problem- which leads me to wonder if it's an issue with my PHP
configuration. Although I keep using default configuration, so I am at a
loss. I have tried installing PHP and Apache, I have tried in xampp, and
I have tried in WAMP. Every time after running the proc_open() command
the PHP script will wait for the process to close before reading the
next line- making reading or writing to any pipes impossible.
$fileDesc = array(
0 => array("pipe", "r"), // STDIN
1 => array("pipe", "w"), // STDOUT
2 => array("pipe", "w") // STDERR
);
die("Got this far");
$handle = proc_open("C:/wherever/program.exe", $fileDesc, $pipes);
fwrite($pipes[0], "input");
fclose($pipes[0]);
proc_close($handle);
Displays "Got this far" and dies, as expected. However:
$fileDesc = array(
0 => array("pipe", "r"), // STDIN
1 => array("pipe", "w"), // STDOUT
2 => array("pipe", "w") // STDERR
);
$handle = proc_open("C:/wherever/program.exe", $fileDesc, $pipes);
die("Got this far");
fwrite($pipes[0], "input");
fclose($pipes[0]);
proc_close($handle);
Will simply hang and seem to cease all function. The moment that I
close program.exe through task manager the script continues as if
nothing were wrong, dying with the output "Got this far". The input is
never passed to the program, although no errors are raised when I hit
the proc_close() line.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$descriptors = array(
0 => array("pipe", "r"), // STDIN. Used to feed input
1 => array("pipe", "w"), // STDOUT. Used to read output
2 => array("pipe", "w"), // STDERR. Used to read errors
3 => array("pipe", "r") // We can feed the passphrase here
);
// Build the command line and start the process
$cmd = '"C:/program files/gnu/gnupg/gpg.exe" --batch
--no-verbose --passphrase-fd 3 --output decrypted.zip --decrypt
encrypted.zip.gpg';
$gpg = proc_open( $cmd, $descriptors, $pipes);
if(is_resource($gpg)) {
// Push passphrase to custom pipe
fwrite($pipes[3], $passphrase);
fclose($pipes[3]);
proc_close($gpg);
}
Expected result:
----------------
Expected to find decrypted.zip in the same directory as the PHP script
(a decrypted version of encrypted.zip.gpg, which is located in the same
directory as the PHP script)
Actual result:
--------------
When localhost/test.php was run the webpage continued to load
indefinitely. I waited as long as 20 minutes. The PHP.ini file should
stop execution after 30 seconds. When gpg.exe was killed with task
manager the page loaded but the .zip file was never created.
