# openssl_pkey_export

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)

openssl_pkey_export -- Gets an exportable representation of a key into a string

## Description

bool openssl_pkey_export ( mixed key, string &out [, string passphrase [, array configargs]] )

openssl_pkey_export() exports key as a PEM encoded string and stores it into out (which is passed by reference). The key is optionally protected by passphrase. configargs can be used to fine-tune the export process by specifying and/or overriding options for the openssl configuration file. See openssl_csr_new() for more information about configargs. Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

> Note: You need to have a valid `openssl.cnf` installed for this function to operate correctly. See the notes under the installation section for more information.
