openssl_sign
You can actually use the public key as third parameter and not the certificate.
If you can't make it work, make sure that :
1) Your public key is well formatted. It seems that it must have the ----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY---- and ----END PUBLIC KEY----
2) Your signature is in binary format. You can use the php base64_decode for this.
openssl_verify
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)
openssl_verify — 署名を検証する
説明
int openssl_verify
( string
$data
, string $signature
, mixed $pub_key_id
[, int $signature_alg = OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA1
] )
openssl_verify() は、
pub_key_id が指す公開鍵を使用し、
指定した data に関して
signature が正しいことを確認します。
署名が正しいと判定されるためには、
その公開鍵が署名の際に使用した秘密鍵に対応していることを必要とします。
返り値
署名 (signature) が正しい場合に 1、正しくない場合に 0、 エラーの場合に -1 を返します。

<?php
// $data および $signature はデータおよび署名が含まれていると仮定
// 認証局から公開鍵を取得し、使用可能にする
$fp = fopen("/src/openssl-0.9.6/demos/sign/cert.pem", "r");
$cert = fread($fp, 8192);
fclose($fp);
$pubkeyid = openssl_get_publickey($cert);
// 署名が正しいかどうかを確認
$ok = openssl_verify($data, $signature, $pubkeyid);
if ($ok == 1) {
echo "正しいです";
} elseif ($ok == 0) {
echo "正しくありません";
} else {
echo "署名を確認する際にエラーが発生しました";
}
// メモリからキーを開放

I spent days scouring the php openssl documentation trying to figure out how to do what sounds like a simple task - given two PEM encoded certificates, is one the signer of the other? Nowhere in the openssl_verify() documentation or comments is it explained where to obtain the signature of an existing certificate. The openssl_x509_parse() function looked promising, but it is an unstable API that may change.
I had to write my own code to determine if one cert signed another, it is located here: http://badpenguins.com/source/misc/isCertSigner.php?viewSource
In a nutshell here is what I learned...
The signature data in a signed X.509 certificate contains DER formatted data about the signature that is encrypted with the signers public key. The data contains a hash of the original subject certificate and information about what encryption algorithm was used to create the signature.
So you need to get this signature data and a copy of the original certificate with the issuer and signature sequences removed. Hash a copy of the original certificate (sans issuer/signature sequences) with the same algorithm the issuer used and if the hashes match, you have the issuer cert that signed the certificate.

I've finally found a way to verify signature. Sample in the documentation doesn't work. Code bellow DOES work :)
<?php
// $data is assumed to contain the data to be signed
// fetch certificate from file and ready it
$fp = fopen("path/file.pem", "r");
$cert = fread($fp, 8192);
fclose($fp);
// state whether signature is okay or not
// use the certificate, not the public key
$ok = openssl_verify($data, $signature, $cert);
if ($ok == 1) {
echo "good";
} elseif ($ok == 0) {
echo "bad";
} else {
echo "ugly, error checking signature";
}
?>

It should be noted that in order to verify a signature successfully, SHA-1 must be used to digest the data before signing.
If, for example, you are using Java to create a signature and you want to verify it in PHP, you must not use "MD5withRSA" or "SHA512withRSA" as the signature algorithm. Use "SHA1withRSA" or the like...

A note about the openssl_verify() (and some of the other functions). The public key comes from a certificate in any of the support formats (as the example shows, use openssl_get_publickey() to get the resource id). But after some trial and error I found the signature string MUST BE BINARY. While no error occurs, passing a base64-formatted signature string (PEM format?), you simply get a mismatch. When I did the base64 decode myself, the verify returned a match (return value 1). You can simply drop the begin/end lines and take the output of the 'base64_decode()' function.

Anbybody trying to get a Win32 CryptoAPI based digital signature component to work with the openssl_verify() function should be aware that the CryptoAPI PKCS1 (RSA) method uses bytes in reverse order while the openssl_verify() method expects a correctly formatted PKCS1 digital signature (as should be). I learned this the hard way and it took me some time to dig this out. A simple solution in VBScript to reverse the byte order:
N = Len(Blob.Hex)
' reverse bytes in the signature using Hex format
For i = 1 To N - 1 Step 2
s = Mid(Blob, i, 2) & s
Next
s contains the digital signature in reverse order. Blob is an arbitrary binary container.
Send the signature off in Hex format and use a hex2bin method in PHP to convert to the correct format for openssl_verify(), i.e.
function hex2bin($data) {
$len = strlen($data);
return pack("H" . $len, $data);
}
That's it, hope it helps out. BTW I used ASPEncrypt to toy around with on Win32 platform. Works only with Internet Explorer but you could also use a Java applet and have none of the abovementioned problems :-)
