Do you think the php folks would be receptive if I posted a 
enhancement/request
in their bugs system to implement this?  I really can't figure out why the
verify (http://us2.php.net/openssl_pkcs7_verify) command returns a boolean vs.
the string on success and false on error.  And, come to think of it it doesn't
even return a boolean since -1 is a possible return value.

Not that fixing this issue would help us any at the present time.
