You can get GnuPG as a PECL package here: http://pecl.php.net/package/gnupg

It looks like you'll need to compile it yourself though. It comes with a config.m4 file, so you'll probably want to use autotools (cygwin?).

It sounds like you just have to put the .dll you compile in the correct directory.

You'll also need to install GnuPGME: http://www.gnupg.org/gpgme.html

One of the commenters on php.net wasn't able to get it to install, so it might not work anyway..

thanks for the knowledge. so is there any way to decrypt and encrypt gpg on windows. any GUI app ? (apart from gpg4win-2.0.3) – Atif Mohammed Ameenuddin Jun 23 '10 at 18:02
@atif089 what are you trying to encrypt? Email, random files? – Brendan Long Jun 23 '10 at 19:21
random files, or to be precise i want to store/retrieve that info from a database – Atif Mohammed Ameenuddin Jun 23 '10 at 20:06

@atif089: My suggestion is maybe look at the OpenSSL stuff: php.net/manual/en/book.openssl.php It sounds easier to install on Windows. It has some public key encryption stuff. – Brendan Long Jun 23 '10 at 20:21
thanks. I can use this from now but the problem is I already have some data encrypted – Atif Mohammed Ameenuddin Jun 26 '10 at 13:41
