I tried this simple code :

<?php

$publicKey = openssl_pkey_get_public("public.pem");
$plaintext = "String to encrypt";

openssl_public_encrypt($plaintext, $encrypted, $publicKey);

echo $encrypted;   //encrypted string

?>

but I get this error message.

Warning: openssl_public_encrypt(): key parameter is not a valid public key in C:\xampp\htdocs\encrypt\encrypt_rsa.php on line 6

I guess that `public.pem` is already a public key thus no need to extract it using `openssl_pkey_get_public("public.pem")` - just use it like `openssl_public_encrypt($plaintext, $encrypted, 'public.pem');`. – shadyyx Jun 21 '13 at 14:05
still the same problem :( – user2467703 Jun 21 '13 at 14:24

Can you post the contents of `public.pem` in your question? – Duncan Jones Jun 21 '13 at 18:37
What is the header for your `pem` file? it could be that it is in the wrong format – Noam Rathaus Dec 29 '13 at 13:11
