Description
bool
openssl_x509_checkpurpose ( mixed x509cert, int purpose [, array cainfo [, string untrustedfile]] )
Returns TRUE if the certificate can be used for the intended purpose, FALSE if it cannot, or -1 on error.
openssl_x509_checkpurpose() examines the certificate specified by x509cert to see if it can be used for the purpose specified by purpose.
cainfo should be an array of trusted CA files/dirs as described in Certificate Verification. It defaults to an
empty array.
untrustedfile, if specified, is the name of a PEM encoded file holding certificates that can be used to help verify the certificate, although no trust in placed in the
certificates that come from that file.
