GPG Error Code 2


GPG is always returning 2 at the result. My code is as follows

$cmd = "/usr/bin/gpg -a --recipient $to -e -o $outfile $infile";

Where outfile is the file where the encrypted data will be written and infile is the unencrypted data.

I don't know why this is happening. Can anyone please tell me what's wrong. Thanks.


Solution

  • GPG is asking whether you want to continue on with the encryption using an unsigned key. Since no user can input Y it produces an error.

    To fix this put the following switches

    --yes and --always-trust
