Hi,
I use a php script to generate GPG encrypted email, which is sent to
my email address


--------------------------------------
$gpg = "/usr/bin/gpg";
$encrypt_command = "echo $message | $gpg --homedir /home/kbedso/.gnupg
--always-trust --no-secmem-warning -e -a -r 2515F7B7";
$encrypted=shell_exec("$encrypt_command");
$new=$encrypted;

$from="From: Name <myemailaddress@what.com>";


mail('myemailaddress@what.com','Your Encrypted Message',$new,$from); 
print $new;

-------------------------------------

when i open this in my mail program thunderbird, using the GPG
Enigmail plugin I get the following ( i use mac OSX)

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----


When I click on decrypt the decrypt option,
It asks for my passphrase, which I enter--

then doesnt decrypt the message- 
and in the console gives the following message

enigmail> /usr/local/bin/gpg --charset utf8 --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 -d -
-passphrase-fd 0 --no-use-agent 
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit ELG-E key, ID 20A843DF, created 2005-08-22
"Kim (installing stuff is fun) <myemailadress>"
enigmail.js: Enigmail.decryptMessageEnd: Error in command execution

-------------------------------------------

I dont know what this error means, My mail program successfully
decrypts all other mail messages,
just not the ones I generate via php. any ideas on whats causing the problem?

The proper way to feed command through a pipe is to use
http://www.php.net/popen command. This way you will avoid possible
limitations of echo and text, contained in your $message. For example
you message can be "Hello, | clear |" and in your case you can get
something like:

echo Hello, | clear | /usr/bin/gpg --homedir /home/kbedso/.gnupg
--always-trust --no-secmem-warning -e -a -r 2515F7B7

The possible solution can be:
--------------------------------------
$gpg = "/usr/bin/gpg";

$handle = popen("$gpg --homedir /home/kbedso/.gnupg
--always-trust --no-secmem-warning -e -a -r 2515F7B7", 'w');
$sentbytes = fwrite($handle, 2096);
echo "$sentbytes written on the pipe";
pclose($handle);
