It's like my nan used to say - you hang around for ages waiting for a PHPGemini Server, then two come along at once. (in case you're wondering,another PHP server was announced earlier today - who'd have thought).

I was curious about how PHP might give access to the client certificate,and discovered this example that might be of usehttps://freek.dev/530-validating-ssl-certificates-with-php - it seems basedon the stream socket approach that you also use, and if so it shows how toget the X509 certificate that you can use to generate an SHA-256 signature.

In any case, thanks for sharing! Are you currently running any sites onthis?

Hello all,
After becoming intrigued by gemini and spending some time learning
and using it, I thought it would be fun to create a server in PHP because
why not? I present to you orbit: https://tildegit.org/sumpygump/orbit
It currently passes all the tests from gemini-diagnostics (
https://github.com/michael-lazar/gemini-diagnostics). I have included
some details to install it as a GNU/linux service using systemd. It also
has an option to auto-generate self-signed certificates.
I have had issues trying to support client certificates, due to how PHP
internally manages sockets invoked with `stream_socket_server` but I
haven't exhausted all possibilities yet.
Currently it only serves static assets, but my plan next is to add some
support for dynamic content via cgi scripts.
