Always wanted to write an extension for PHP! 
More precisely, an extension which allows PHP scripts to access KeePass databases. Today I finally found time to read some articles (here, here, and here) on PHP extension writing. I compiled PHP 5.x and KeePass 2., and started the project PHPpw, which is supposed to bring together these 2 worlds (PHP & KeePass). PHPpw (pw = password) is open source and available at SourceForge.net. The extension is a proof of concept and provides the following PHP functions:
- keepass_open(): Opens a KeePass database. The first argument is the filename of the database; the second argument is the masterkey.
- keepass_close(): Closes a previously opened KeePass database.
- keepass_get_name(): Delivers the name of the root folder of the KeePass database.
1 2 3 4 5 | if ( !keepass_open("test.kdbx", "test1234") ) die(); echo keepass_get_name(); keepass_close(); |
The project has several limitations, e.g., only one KeePass database can be used. Further, once a KeePass database is opened, it is accessible to all users. Anyway, check out the source code and feel free to join this project today!
