Description
int 
openssl_verify ( string data, string signature, mixed pub_key_id [, int signature_alg] )
     Returns 1 if the signature is correct, 0 if it is incorrect, and
     -1 on error.
    
     openssl_verify() verifies that the
     signature is correct for the specified
     data using the public key associated with
     pub_key_id. This must be the public key
     corresponding to the private key used for signing.
    
Note: 
      Optional 4th parameter signature_alg was added in
      version 5.2.0. Its default value is
      OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA1. For more information see the
      list of Signature Algorithms.
     
     
Example 1. openssl_verify() example <?php
// $data and $signature are assumed to contain the data and the signature
// fetch public key from certificate and ready it
$fp = fopen("/src/openssl-0.9.6/demos/sign/cert.pem", "r");
$cert = fread($fp, 8192);
fclose($fp);
$pubkeyid = openssl_get_publickey($cert);
// state whether signature is okay or not
$ok = openssl_verify($data, $signature, $pubkeyid);
if ($ok == 1) {
    echo "good";
} elseif ($ok == 0) {
    echo "bad";
} else {
    echo "ugly, error checking signature";
}
// free the key from memory
openssl_free_key($pubkeyid);
