Getting public key using openssl_*

Has anyone been sucessful in getting/reading a RSA or DSA public key
using the openssl functions?

openssl_get_pub lickey should work with PEM files, but it doesn't...

I've tried creating a X.509 certificate, putting the public key in
there and getting it out with openssl_get_pub lickey, but it doesn't
work either...

All I want to do is to decrypt some data using a public key received
from the user. Ideas?

Actually it does, if you give it the key in the right format. Something
like:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb 3DQEBAQUAA4GNAD CBiQKBgQCuI6b3a uKaUF67XLchzhhf nhsw
r3MsxQ3mjJsN7cq 96RwIiaUgOtm0re vhQB4JX0m1x1uI4 GzTevMsRKZepNnt 5lvi

tCv22DfDf5gGRfc q1wIDAQAB
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

I managed to create the public key from the private key using the
openssl command line tool:

$ openssl rsa -in private_key -pubout -out public_key

Hey, I would appriciate if anyone can help on this one: I have a java object/inteface having a method with a boolean parameter. As I'm trying to call this method from a javascript it fails on a type mismatch. It is positively because of the boolean(java primitive)parameter. It goes fine if I change this parameter to int or String. This inteface has a lot more methods which works fine, it is just the

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
