What is PHP Certificate Authority Server?

PHP Certificate Authority server is a php based CA. After looking around for at a number of CA's that could do the basic of things, I decided to write my own. I had tried a couple of others first, but unfortunately they were lacking the functionality and simplicity I wanted. It is meant to be a Freeware / Open Source piece of software.

At first, I wanted this to be a frontend to TinyCA so I did not have to use it all the time, but I could integrate it if needed for any tasks I hadn't coded. However, I now believe that there are quite a few tasks in here so I have kept the TinyCA file system but primarily I do everything via the PHP front end now.

At home in my live/ test environment I use the certificates I have generated to protect the server using user certificate checking on the /phpca directory in addition to checking the network I am coming from.

I will try and expand this WIKI as we continue, but thought I would desribe what this is and how it came to being.
