Examples

Example #1 Listing authorized keys with ssh2_publickey_list

<?php
$ssh2 
ssh2_connect('shell.example.com'22);
ssh2_auth_password($ssh2'jdoe''secret');
$pkey ssh2_publickey_init($ssh2);

$list ssh2_publickey_list($pkey);

foreach(
$list as $key) {
  echo 
"Key: {$key['name']}\n";
  echo 
"Blob: " chunk_split(base64_encode($key['blob']), 40"\n") . "\n";
  echo 
"Comment: {$key['attrs']['comment']}\n\n";
}
?>

The above example will output:

Notes

Note: The public key subsystem is used for managing public keys on a server to which the client is already authenticated. To authenticate to a remote system using public key authentication, use the ssh2_auth_pubkey_file function instead.
