gnupg_sign
If verification fails, the gnupg_verify() returns the key's id instead of fingerprint . It does not return FALSE as stated above (PHP4, have not tested PHP5). You can compare it with result of keyinfo:
<?php
$resultOfVerify = gnupg_verify($gpgresource, $message,FALSE,$key);
echo "<pre>\$resultOfVerify",print_r($resultOfVerify),"</pre>";
//Above will out put something like
?>
$resultOfVerify Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[fingerprint] => xxxxxxxxx (IF MESSAGE IS VERIFIED, THEN THIS MATCHES THE KEY FINGERPRINT OF THE KEY, IF UNVERIFIED, MATCHES THE KEY ID
[validity] => 0
[timestamp] => 0
[status] => NNNNNN
[summary] => 4
)
)
<?php
$keyinfo = gnupg_keyinfo($gpgresource,$key);
echo "<pre>\$keyinfo ",print_r($keyinfo),"</pre>";
//Above will out put something like
?>
$keyinfo Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[disabled] =>
[expired] =>
[revoked] =>
[is_secret] =>
[can_sign] => 1

)
<?php
//To test if a message/signature pair is verified
if($resultOfVerify[0]['fingerprint'] == $keyinfo[0]['subkeys'][0]['fingerprint']){
//Ok, verified
}else{
//Oops, NOT verified
}

gnupg_verify — Verifies a signed text
Description
array gnupg_verify
( resource $identifier
, string $signed_text
, string $signature
[, string &$plaintext
] )
Verifies the given signed_text and returns information about the signature.
Parameters
- identifier
-
The gnupg identifier, from a call to gnupg_init() or gnupg.
- signed_text
-
The signed text.
- signature
-
The signature. To verify a clearsigned text, set signature to FALSE.
- plaintext
-
The plain text. If this optional parameter is passed, it is filled with the plain text.
Return Values
On success, this function returns information about the signature. On failure, this function returns FALSE.
Examples
Example #1 Procedural gnupg_verify() example
<?php
$plaintext = "";
$res = gnupg_init();
// clearsigned
$info = gnupg_verify($res,$signed_text,false,$plaintext);
print_r($info);
// detached signature
$info = gnupg_verify($res,$signed_text,$signature);
print_r($info);
?>
Example #2 OO gnupg_verify() example
<?php
$plaintext = "";
$gpg = new gnupg();
// clearsigned
$info = $gpg -> verify($signed_text,false,$plaintext);
print_r($info);
// detached signature
$info = $gpg -> verify($signed_text,$signature);
print_r($info);
?>

You can see who made the signature by checking its fingerprint:
<?php
$res = gnupg_init();
$info = gnupg_verify($res,$signed_text,$signature);
if($info !== false){
$fingerprint = $info['fingerprint'];
var_dump(gnupg_keyinfo($res, $fingerprint));
}
